Configuring user directories for StreamStudio

This section applies for the StreamStudio web portal.

To integrate StreamStudio with a directory server, you must specify the directory settings for external and internal users of the directory server. You can use two separate directories for the internal and external users respectively, or a single directory for all users (with the external and internal users in separate locations).

The directory server must support the LDAP protocol. You can either use Microsoft Active Directory or a generic LDAPv3 compliant directory, for example OpenDS.

You can access StreamStudio without a user directory. For example, if the company is small and does not have a user directory, or if you want to demonstrate or test StreamStudio without a directory connection. The only available user is then the application domain administrator, by default assigned the StreamStudio System Manager role. The application domain administrator is specified on the Administrator tab in the Application Domain Editor. See Administrator tab.

4	Click OK to save the application domain configuration, or continue the configuration on the next tab.
