Client module

About

The Client module is used to manage and configure the connection between your video portal (KMS) site and the Kaltura server. It ensures that your video portal is properly linked to the server for streaming, analytics, and player functionality.

Configure

1. Go to your Configuration Management console and click on the Client module. You can also navigate to it directly using a link: https://{your_KMS_URL}/admin/config/tab/client.



The Client page displays.



2. Configure the following:

serviceUrl - The URL used for API calls. This is where your KMS connects to the Kaltura server. If you're using a self-hosted (On-Prem) Kaltura server, update this field accordingly. The URL's prefix must be http:// or https://.

CDNUrl - The URL used by the Kaltura HTML5 player and html5lib to access media through the CDN.

• Default URL: http://cdnapi.kaltura.com is used by default. If you don't need a custom URL, you can leave this field empty.
• Custom CDN: If you're using a custom CDN for media delivery, enter the custom URL in this field.
• For HTTPS Configurations: When your KMS site is set up with HTTPS, update this field to the secure CDN URL: https://cdnapisec.kaltura.com.

SecuredCDNUrl - The secure CDN URL used by the Kaltura HTML5 player and html5lib to access media over HTTPS.

• Default URL: Leave this field empty to use Kaltura’s default secure CDN.
• For HTTPS Configurations: When your KMS site is configured for HTTPS, update this field to the secure CDN URL: https://cdnapisec.kaltura.com.

analyticsServiceUrl - The URL for analytics and reports. Leave it empty unless you have a custom setup for reporting.

partnerId - Enter your Kaltura account's Partner ID. You can find it in the KMC under Settings > Integration tab.

verifySSL - Set this to "No" if you're using a self-signed SSL certificate. This allows the connection to bypass strict SSL verification.
