Add/Modify User Information
To add or modify users, select Users from the navigation bar on the left.
User
User – Use this option if the EtherneTV system will be accessed
by a PC or Mac user, or if Users will be authenticated to STBs via
PIN numbers. This access is not limited to a specific PC or STB.
Set Top Box – Use this option if the EtherneTV system will be
accessed via a STB attached to a television or other video display.
If Set-Top Box is selected, then the privilege to the system will be
on a per STB basis. The authentication will take place
automatically, so no end user interaction is required. When
choosing STB, the STB's host name or IP address must be entered,
as well as an optional location/description of the STB.
Username To authenticate using an LDAP database, the user name must match
exactly what is in the LDAP database (the Portal Server is case
sensitive). A new user can also be assigned (if using the VBrick
database option) that does not exist in the LDAP database.
Password For LDAP authentication a password is not needed (the user will use
their normal network login password). If using the VBrick database a
password must be entered (passwords are case sensitive).
