“Max. Number of Connections” lets you set the maximum number of connections. When this number is reached, users who try to connect see a message that the server is busy (error 453).
“Max. Throughput” lets you set the maximum throughput of the server. If the maximum throughput is reached, no one else can connect. Users who try to connect see a message that the server is busy (error 453).
“Default Authentication Scheme” lets you choose between basic or digest. By default, the server uses the more secure digest authentication. However, digest authentication requires that users connect with QuickTime 5 or later. Basic authentication is less secure than digest but is compatible with earlier versions of QuickTime.
“Change Admin Username/Password” lets you change the server administrator’s user name and password.
“Change Movie Broadcast Password” lets you create or update a broadcast user account on the streaming server. This account allows an SDP file to be created on the server. You can then broadcast from QuickTime Broadcaster to QuickTime Streaming Server running on a separate computer using the Automatic Unicast (Announce) transmission method.
Note: Using this feature will overwrite any existing access controls that the user has placed on the QTSS Movies directory. The qtaccess file is overwritten when the user name/password change is made.
“Change MP3 Broadcast Password” lets you change the password required to send an MP3 broadcast stream. The MP3 broadcast password cannot contain spaces.

“Streaming on Port 80” lets you serve QuickTime streams over HTTP port 80. If you need to serve streams past firewalls, you may need to enable streaming on port 80. If your computer is also running a web server, enabling streaming on port 80 causes a port conflict that results in one or both of the servers’ not behaving properly.
