In this section, we go through the detailed steps that are necessary to configure your Mividas Meeting Portal and Mividas Identify for secure video meetings with participant identification and verification.

To get started with your installation, it is necessary to configure both your Mividas Identify installation and Mividas Meeting Portal installation to make them communicate together and to add support for scheduling secure meetings type via the Meeting Portal. Below are the necessary configurations required for both products.

Prerequisite

Installing Mividas Identify

The Mividas Installer start screen shows all the products that you have access to via your license key. In this case, there should be an alternative for you to install Mividas Identify. Start by navigating to the Mividas Installer via your browser https://{fqdn_installer}:8999 and log in using your installer password.

Once logged in to the Mividas Installer, click “Configure” for the Mividas Identify product on the Mividas Installer start page under “Configure a new product”. This takes you to the configuration of Mividas Identify before it is ready for deployment. The below settings will appear:

Main domain name for web interface

Here you specify the Hostname /FQDN that will be used to reach this Mividas Identify instance.

You can also select from a list of existing certificates to be used by this Identify installation, or if you have a certificate and public key already prepared, you can add them by uploading the certificate and key files in this section. After uploading, you can select your certificate in the “Select existing certificate” selection box.

If you want to create a certificate from a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) before proceeding, you can do so by selecting the menu “Certificates” in the top right of the page.

Locale settings

Here you specify which language and time zone to use. Note that Mividas Identify will first and foremost use the language setting in the web browser for selecting a language for the user interface, if the web browser language is not available then the default language will be used instead.

Outgoing e-mail settings (SMTP)

Fill in the SMTP settings that will be used for sending e-mails. If you entered these settings when you did your onboarding of Mividas Installer, the fields will be pre-filled with what you specified in that step, but can now be overridden for your Mividas Identify installation.

Portal API settings

This section will allow you to set up API settings for requests being made from Mividas Identify and the Mividas Meeting Portal.

External Mividas Core server domain name

If this Meeting Portal should be connected to a specific Core installation, please enter the Core server domain name here. In the case of single server installation, leave this blank.

API key

Enter the API key received from the Mividas Meeting Portal. If you don’t have configured the secure meetings in the Mividas Meeting Portal and don’t have an API key, please follow the steps in this document Secure meeting to configure your Mividas Meeting Portal installation to get access to the API key to be used in your Mividas Identify installation.

LDAP authentication settings

By default, settings for LDAP will be filled in with what was specified when onboarding Mividas Installer, but can here be changed for your Mividas Identify installation.

See LDAP authentication settings for more information about LDAP

All users matching LDAP filter can log in and have write permission. Make sure to limit access using the user filter field

Deployment Mividas Identify

After you have gone through and filled in the necessary settings during the configuration and clicked on “Configure”, you will be redirected to the deployment step of your installation.

Start by selecting which version of Mividas Identify to install in the drop-down list to the right then click on “Deploy changes” to start the installation. You can now follow the installation process in a terminal that appears under the deploy button. When the installation is complete, you may reload the page and then you should see the correct version displayed for Mividas Identify.

Update settings after deployment

After the installation of Mividas Identify is complete, you still have the option to change settings. To do this, click on the installation you want to change from the Mivida Installer start screen.

Then click on “Configure” for the product you wish to change settings for and make the changes you desire. After you are satisfied, click on “Save” which will take you back to the deployment of the product. Finally, you need to click on “Deploy changes” to apply the new settings to your installation.

After the installation process is complete you may now reload the page and your update is completed.

Onboarding

Once the installation process has been completed, you can now refer to the onboarding documentation to learn about configuring your new Mividas Identify installation and adding various authentication options.
