Configuration and use of the multi-admin in ProCall DataCenter

Show the server settings page

Server settings page

The server settings page is not actually released for productive use and can only be used until the administrator administration has its own GUI.

Configure users and roles

To configure the users for the multi-admin of the ProCall DataCenter, it is first necessary to display the server settings page in order to be able to enter the users and their roles in the configuration database in the next steps.

1. Please create a shortcut of the "SrvAdm.exe" from the installation directory of the UCServer on the desktop.
2. Right-click to open the properties of the newly created shortcut.
3. Add the parameter to the "Target": -ShowServerConfigurationPage. Example: "C:\Program Files\estos\UCServer\SrvAdm.exe" -ShowServerConfigurationPage
4. Start the UCServer admin via the created link and log in with the build-in administrator.
5. There is now a new menu item under the "Global settings" tree element: "Server settings"

Creating admin users

To create an administration user, please proceed as follows:

1. Switch to the "Server settings" tree element.
2. Click on "Add..." at the bottom of the window that appears.
3. In the dialog that appears, enter "adminuserlist.adminusers.admin.role" as the key.
4. Enter the user you want to create as the object name. 
5. The type is set to "text".
6. Confirm the dialog with "OK". 
7. Click on "Apply" to transfer the entry to the configuration database.

Naming convention

The only object name permitted is the user logon name including domain in the pre-Windows 2000 nomenclature in lower case. This is structured as follows: Domain\sAMAccountName

Please click on "Apply" after each created user to save the new elements in the database.

Assigning roles

There are currently the following fixed roles that can be assigned to users:

Only one role can be assigned to a user at a time. Please also note that the entry of roles is case-sensitive. So make sure you use the correct upper and lower case letters.

To assign an administration user role, please proceed as follows:

1. Select the entry of the user to whom you want to assign a role.
2. Click in the "Value" cell of the selected user.
3. Enter the role you want to assign to the user. 
4. Click on "Apply" to transfer the entry to the configuration database.

After you have assigned a role, please be sure to save the new value with "Apply".

Logging in to the UCServer administration

The "Authentication" selection has been added to the login dialog. Three different authentication types can now be selected.

Internal account

Enter the user and password assigned during installation for authentication and confirm with "OK" to log in.

The built-in admin is intended as a backup user if authentication via domain authentication is not possible. For this reason, the built-in admin has full access and their role cannot be edited. It should not be used for regular operation. The assigned user and password should be stored securely and knowledge of the authentication data should only be known to a few employees.

Current domain account

The login data of the user currently logged on to the computer is used to log in. No further entries can be made. Confirm with "OK" to log in.

Domain account

Here, authentication can take place via a user account to be explicitly specified. The following information must be provided for this:

• User name (incl. domain in the pre-Windows 2000 nomenclature, if applicable)
• Password

The domain used is shown in a separate line.

Confirm with "OK" to log in.

Domain

If only a user name is specified (without a domain), the current domain is used. This can also be seen in the "Domain" line. To change the domain, the domain must be specified in the user name in the pre-Windows2000 nomenclature. The recognized domain is updated accordingly and displayed in the "Domain" line.
