Assign Content Expiration
Warning Recipient

Enter the semicolon-separated e-mail address(es) of the
person(s) responsible for renewing copyrighted or otherwise
protected content. When you configure or change either the
recipient or the mail server, the Portal Server will attempt to
send a test message. Check that this message is successfully
delivered. The Portal Server validates the e-mail address but
cannot detect other mail delivery failures. If the user's mail
box is full, for example, the message will not reach its
intended recipient to warn of impending content expiration.

Assign Mail Server

Required field. SMTP mail server name. In Microsoft
Exchange, for example, go to Tools > E-mail Accounts > E-
mail > Microsoft Exchange Server > servername. An e-mail
to the assigned Content Expiration Warning Recipient is
generated when you configure or change this field.

Assign Presentations

VBPresenter is used to create multimedia presentations that
can be launched from the Portal Server. The

Current

Presentations Directory

defines the virtual directory on the

Portal Server where the live presentations are stored—the
default is

Presentations

. During a new Portal Server

installation, the required virtual and physical directories are
automatically created. To use a different virtual directory,
create the virtual directory in IIS and enter only the virtual
directory name in this field—do not enter the complete path.
The

Current Presentations User

is a pseudo VBPresenter

user who will be given permission to publish to specified
directories and VOD servers. Configuring a Presentation
User on page 106 explains h
ow to create this user; contact
VBrick Support Services if you need help.
If you are upgrading from Portal Server v4.0.1 or earlier and
using VBPresenter, you will need to manually create two
virtual directories (

Presentations

for live presentations and

MCSPresentations

for stored presentations), giving the user

Everyone

full permissions, and mapping the local paths

respectively to:

C:\Program Files\VBrick\MCS\Presentations

C:\Program Files\VBrick\MCS\MCSPresentations

Select Macintosh Player for
MPEG4 Content

Select the player to use for MPEG-4 content on Macintosh
clients:

• VBrick Player – users will be prompted to install a VBrick

plugin the first time they launch MPEG-4 content.

• Apple QuickTime Player – no plugin required. Does not

support access logging.

Assign AutoIngest

The current autoingest via XML user name that has access
and publishing rights to a VOD server. See AutoIngest
Content via XML on page 113 for
more information.
