Managing Your Streaming Server 25
For Windows, install the certificate in c:\Program Files\Darwin Streaming
Server\streamingadminserver.pem.
For other supported platforms, install the certificate in /etc/streaming/
streamingadminserver.pem.
“Max. Number of Connections” lets you set the maximum number of connections. When this
number is reached, users who try to connect see a message that the server is busy (error
453).
“Max. Throughput” lets you set the maximum throughput of the server. If the maximum
throughput is reached, no one else can connect. Users who try to connect see a message that
the server is busy (error 453).
“Default Authentication Scheme” lets you choose between basic or digest. By default, the
server uses the more secure digest authentication. However, digest authentication requires
that users connect with QuickTime 5 or later. Basic authentication is less secure than digest
but is compatible with earlier versions of QuickTime.
“Change Admin Username/Password” lets you change the server administrator’s user name
and password.
“Change Movie Broadcast Password” lets you create or update a broadcast user account on
the streaming server. This account allows an SDP file to be created on the server. You can
then broadcast from QuickTime Broadcaster to QuickTime Streaming Server running on a
separate computer using the Automatic Unicast (Announce) transmission method.
Note: Using this feature will overwrite any existing access controls that the user has placed
on the QTSS Movies directory. The qtaccess file is overwritten when the user name/password
change is made.
“Change MP3 Broadcast Password” lets you change the password required to send an MP3
broadcast stream. The MP3 broadcast password cannot contain spaces.

m To see the port settings, click Port Settings.
“Streaming on Port 80” lets you serve QuickTime streams over HTTP port 80. If you need to
serve streams past firewalls, you may need to enable streaming on port 80. If your computer
is also running a web server, enabling streaming on port 80 causes a port conflict that results
in one or both of the servers’ not behaving properly.
Working With Log Settings
You can view logs and change log settings in Streaming Server Admin.
