Server Settings: E-mail (SMTP), LDAP, Passwords

View or modify MagicINFO Server settings.

  1. Click icon(Setting) > Server Management on the main menu bar.
  2. Click Server Settings.
  3. After modification of settings, select Enable.
  • Select Enable to activate each individual function.
  • The server configuration can be modified for each organization. Click Server Management. Select an organization from the dropdown list.
  • The items that can be set may vary depending on the organization.
In practice
  • SMTP is stored per organization, and password-reset mail uses the requesting user's own organization with no fallback to the server-wide entry. Fill in SMTP for every organization whose users should be able to reset a password.
  • The sender address is the SMTP Login ID; there is no separate From field, so the login must be a real mailbox.
  • SSL ticked means implicit TLS (usually port 465); unticked, the server uses STARTTLS (usually port 587).
  • There is no test-mail button: trigger a real password reset to check. See Password-reset e-mail not arriving.

General​

  • Show Notification Number When there is any notification for the server, you can set to display the occurrence number.

  • Backup Play You can set to activate the redundant playback. In the event of disconnection or input source changes on a device while playing important content, the user-configured backup device will detect the problem and continue to play the content. For further details on Backup Play settings, see Backup Play: Redundant Playback on a Second Device.

  • Insufficient Capacity Set the minimum capacity to display a notice when the capacity is not enough. MagicINFO Server administrators (general administrator and organization administrators) do not require special privileges to be set as they already have permission to manage all devices connected to MagicINFO Server.

  • External Link Turns on the External Link function, so that shortcuts to other websites can be added in Settings.

General and organization administrators need no extra device privileges: they can already manage every device connected to the server.

On a trusted device, you can configure a setting so that two-factor authentication can be skipped and set the period for which it will be skipped.
