Timezone	Set the preferred time zone for the system.

Outgoing Email (SMTP) Settings

Configure SMTP details for email notifications and invitations. If you configured this during the initial Installer setup, fields will be pre-filled but can be modified as needed.

Option	Description
Display-name of sender	Enter the name to appear as the email sender.

Optional settings

Portal API settings

Set API settings for requests from Meeting Identify to Mividas Portal.

• Go to your Mividas Portal interface, Admin > Backend admin > Secure Meeting Settings.
• Copy the API Key from backend admin, or move the API key below into backend admin.

Option	Description
External Mividas Portal server domain name	If Identify should connect to a Portal installation on another server, enter the Portal FQDN here. In case of single server installation, leave this blank.
API Key	API key to use from Identify to Portal.

LDAP authentication settings

Option	Description
Server	Enter the hostname of the current LDAP or AD server to use by default. Use “fqdn:389” to use a specific port.
Service account DN/username	Here you enter the path to the account to be used as a service account. The path is often unique to your particular organization.
Password	Enter the password for your LDAP or AD server. The field will get empty after pressing save.
Use LDAPS-connection	Connect to the server using SSL-based LDAPS-connection (port 636 by default). Make sure you have added any custom CA-certificates to make verification work.
Ignore TLS/SSL verification errors	Ignore TLS CA verification. TLS over regular LDAP port 389 may be used even if LDAPS is not enabled so unless you have added custom CA certificates for verification login may fail.
Disable referral chasing	This will make LDAP queries not follow referrals to separate forests/trees, which may incur delays or create problems in some environments where DNS-names or login information is not available for connections from Mividas VM. Unchecked by default.
Base dn	Specify where in the tree the initial search for results should begin.
User filter	Here you choose how users are filtered out and displayed.
End user group DN	Specify which group in the tree that will have access to the system and be able to use the product.
Admin group DN	Specify which group in the tree will have elevated admin rights in the system, which opens up additional settings and functions for the logged-in user.
Superuser group DN	Specify which group in the tree that will give members superuser status (highest). Use this with caution as these users will have full control over the system and should only be assigned to users with high technical knowledge.
Customer attribute	For dynamic multi-tenant portal use. User LDAP-object attribute that contains customer shared keys, e.g. "customerAttribute".
Organisation membership attribute	Comma-separated list of user LDAP-object attributes that contains the users place in the organization (for fine organization level statistics). E.g. "topLevelOrganization,secondsLevelOrganization"
Username attribute	Attribute to use as ID/owner for scheduled meetings. Default SIP-domain will be added if none is included. Structure: [dap_fieldname[/search/replace]. Example: email/example.com/video.example.com
Enable local accounts	Allow logging in to users added to the local user database.
