We just finished installation and everything is working fine. How can we add users?

Still not able to create users.
I don't understand when you say the " user_id should be mapped to the user_id you keep in your own environment (and should be unique)."
And, there is not password field for users.
This might be a simple process but we are unable to implement it. Can somebody who's done it send me more specific information on how to do it. This is all new to me.
Thanks for the support!

Paco,

can you explain what users are you referring to and what you wish to achieve ?
I'm not quite sure I understand what kind of users you want to administer/add in your kalturaCE.

We are trying to create user accounts in a junior college, so Faculty can login to KalturaCE- upload content, have it trasncoded, etc... Just like the partner account we have at Kaltura.com.

Hi Paco,

Can you please describe your deployment in more details ?
Do you already use the hosted edition on Kaltura.com ?

Thanks,

Zohar.

We have installed KalturaCE on a server running Apache 2.2- Ubuntu 9.0.4 -XAMPP. KalturaCE-
Basically, I was hoping to use Kaltura as a CMS, with user accounts for our faculty. I didn't wanted to use it with WordPress, Drupal- since we already use Blackboard as a LMS and Plone as a CMS.
We are not using the hosted edition at Kaltura.com, I signed up for a partner account to test the application.
We have a Flash Streaming Server 3.5, and where hoping to place Kaltura as the video management app.
Best,
Paco

I have the hit the same roadblock. I have reviewed the documentation but am unable to create a login id/password for a user/partner other than the admin user which exists. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi guys,

KalturaCE is an Asset Management system. it provides the tools and utilities to manage media assets but doesn't provide specific user authentication or website management.

However, you could do several things to achieve this goal -

  • Use Drupal / WP / MediaWiki / ELGG with existing extension to manage the website and users and KalturaCE to manage the media and media applications.
  • Write an extension to Plone and Blackboard to integrate with Kaltura (you can use the client libraries to ease the development) manage the website and users using Plone and Blackboard and KalturaCE to manage the media and media applications.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. To clarify, I am not looking to provide secure access to a web site. Rather, just provide a second user id/password to the Asset management system itself, just like the AdminUser has.

There is no AdminUser, it's an admin secret or a regular secret.
The secret is global and is used to issue sessions in order to maintain permissions based streaming and services access.
The actual user management though, should be done on your external CMS (e.g. Drupal, WordPress, etc.)
