Instruction manual

Adding users and privileges at the server level will allow all inherited publishing points to

acquire the same security privileges. To add individual privileges for a specific publishing

point, select the

Publishing Point, click Properties, select Authorization, and right-click

WMS Publishing Points ACL Authorization. To add users and subsequently, permissions, the

user must already exist as a domain user or as a local user on the server. The user name will be

listed and can be given the desired priveleges.

Creating Authenticated Push Publishing Points

On the WMS Publishing Points ACL Authorization screen from above, uncheck Allow Write

Permission

for the Everyone user if already checked, and add write permission for a selected

user or set of users by adding the user. Click

Ok to apply the change to the server. Only the

named users will be allowed to push to the server after being authenticated. If this change is

done at the server level, the changes must be propagated to the publishing point level to be

effective.

Creating Non-Authenticated Push Publishing Points

Either disable WMS Publishing Points Authorization, or keeping the default policy of

authorization always on, and selectively allowing authentication to be bypassed for some, on

the

WMS Publishing Points ACL Authorization at the publishing point level, select Allow

Write Permission

for the Everyone user (if already on the list or add to the list if necessary).

Click

Ok to apply the change to the server. If this change is done at the server level, and the

change is propagated to all publishing points, all publishing points will allow push without

authentication.

Creating Pull Publishing Points

Create a broadcast publishing point on the server and use the WM Appliance's HTTP URL as

the source for the publishing point. When you start the publishing point it pulls the stream

from the appliance and you can see the server listed in the client table on the VBrick's

Status:

Server Status > Slot1 Details

page in IWS. You can optionally enable the Start publishing

point when first client connects

feature in the publishing point's general properties to have

the server wait for a client to connect before it starts the pull from the appliance.

Note The Windows Media Server must have the HTTP control protocol enabled to

accept a push. Go to Server Properties and select

Control Protocol in the left pane

and in the right pane enable

WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol to enable HTTP

Control Protocol on your server. The HTTP control protocol uses port 80 by

default so make sure you do not have other services running that also use that port.

Also, the WMS Negotiate Authentication must be enabled at the server or

Publishing Point level.
