User Management

DSNet is a highly secure system intended for remote management across the Internet. The management is based on encrypted SSL connections, user authentication, and password protected access. Not anyone can get access to your system in order to disable or play with monitor settings.

Each user is given an identification name and an individual password. There are two levels of users, administrators and simple users. Administrators have complete access, while simple users have complete access, except that they cannot change user settings.

Each broadcaster keeps its own list of users into an internal database. Of course two broadcasters can have different user lists. DSNet Manager does not know users. It is the responsibility of the broadcaster to grant or deny user access to the network management.

Adding a New User 

You must login as administrator to get access to the User menu. In the main menu, click Users/New User... . Fill in the user form.

- Name: This is the user ID that will be used to connect to the broadcaster.

- Description: Enter a short text description that will help you remember which person this user is.

- Password and Password Confirm: enter the password that will be used to connect to the broadcaster. The password must be from 5 to 8 letter/digit long.

- Check the Administrator box if this new user is an administrator.

Note: Use only US-ASCII characters to fill in this form. Other character sets may create problems.

Editing Users

You must login as administrator to get access to the User menu. In the main menu, click Users/Edit User... .To change user settings, select the user name in the combo box. You can change all settings except the user name that is used to identify the user. To change the user name, delete the user and create a new one.

Do not forget to click OK when your modifications are complete.

You can delete the selected user by clicking Delete.

Note: You cannot delete all administrators, which prevents the case when because there is no more administrator, it becomes impossible to access the Users menu.

Save User Name and Password

In the main menu, click File/Save User Name and Password. Click Yes to confirm. Your current name and password used to login are saved on the computer. Starting from now, anyone will get access to this broadcaster from your computer without needing a password. It allows you for fast access at price of some unsecurity.

To delete the automatic password option and get back to normal login, just select again File/Save User Name and Password and then click No. The automatic login information is erased from the computer.
