Server connections are identified by a URL and a Mediasite user's credentials—username and password. The Activity Module allows connections to different Mediasite Servers.

To add a connection to a Mediasite, specify the connection settings:

Title: Enter a name for the connection that will allow you and other users to easily identify it. For example, if you are logging into Mediasite1 with credentials of John Smith, you could enter Mediasite1_JohnSmith.

Mediasite Server: Enter the Mediasite’s Root URL, which should include the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address and name of the Mediasite, for example: http://yourserver.yourcompany.net/Mediasite_Name or https://yourserver.yourcompany.net/Mediasite_Name (if using SSL)

Username/Password: Enter the credentials of a user with administrative privileges on the Mediasite.

Note: If you enter a user other than MediasiteAdmin, make sure that user has the following Mediasite permissions: execute permission for the API Access, Impersonation, Manage Auth Tickets, and read permissions for the presentations you want to add to Moodle courses. The MediasiteAdmin user has the appropriate permissions by default.

Unmask: Select this check box to make your password visible temporarily.

Pass-Through Authentication: Select this check box to enable pass-through authorization. When this feature is enabled, Mediasite verifies the username used to access Moodle also exists in Mediasite and allows you to access content as that user.

Certification file: If SSL is enabled on the Mediasite Server, as part of PHP requirements, you must upload a file containing the SSL certificate exported from the server and converted to the appropriate format. You can either click Choose a file to navigate to the certification file or you can drag and drop the file to add it.

Note: The certification file must be base 64 encoded and contain certificates for each of the chains of authority that issued the certificate. For example, if a certificate is third in the line of CA dependencies, it must have the three certificates for the CAs higher up in the chain. Also, when you edit a site connection, you must upload the certificate again.
