ETV Portal Server Admin Guide 135
Presentations directory is a virtual directory in IIS. This directory is the root folder for live
presentations only.) There is an MCS directory at the FTP root directory. Note that the entries
made in the Admin console are stored in the Portal Server and do not actually configure IIS.
These values must reflect what IIS has been configured for.
Configuring an MCS Presentation User
Perform the following configuration one time only so that the presentation tool you are using
can access the Portal Server. These steps will create a pseudo VBPresenter user who is
associated with the authoring tool and has specific permissions on the Portal Server.
T To create a presentation user
1. Open the Admin Console and go to
Users.
2. Add a user name (for example
PresentationUser) and give this user the following
permissions:
a.
Add/Modify Live Channel Privileges – check the appropriate channels.
b.
Add/Modify Live Programs Privileges – check the appropriate programs.
a.
Allow Access to Specific VOD Servers – check the appropriate servers.
b.
Allow Access to Specific VOD Content – check the appropriate folders.

3. Go to
Global Settings > Global Assignments > Assign Presentations and select the user
you created above (for example PresentationUser) as the New Presentation User.
Configuring for Live Presentations
You must perform the following steps to configure the Portal Server for each live
presentation.
T To configure the Portal Server for a live presentation
1. Go to
Global Settings > Program Names and add a program name (for example Live
Presentation
). Then use this same name in the MCS Program Name field in VBPresenter.
This is the title that will be displayed on the
Live Broadcasts page during a live
presentation.
2. If necessary, give your end users access to this live presentation. Go to
Users > Add/
Modify Live Channel Privileges
and select this Program Name.
Note The MCS setup program creates an additional user name and password with an FTP
Home directory in the
Live Presentations folder on the MCS server. This User
Name (
Presentations) and password (Presentations) are used in the FTP/Web
Server
section of the VBPresenter Setup window.
Hint To pre-configure a presentation, create a
Program Name in advance on the Portal
Server and assign
Live Channel Privileges to users. Then use the same name in the
MCS Program Name field in VBPresenter when giving the presentation. The MCS
Program Name
will be available on the Live Broadcasts page for any users who have
permissions to view that channel
