What is new in 3.7 for administrators

This is an overview of new features and changes that are relevant for administrators.

Reset Meeting Server Password

From version 3.7, Meeting Management administrators can reset passwords for Meeting Server Admin accounts. In previous releases, if the Meeting Server admin password was forgotten, Meeting Server had to be reinstalled and configured. Administrators can now reset a forgotten or expired password for Meeting Server 1000 and Meeting Server on Virtualized deployments. See Add configured server and Configure advanced security settings.

Applying pane placement in custom layouts

Version 3.7 introduces the support for applying pane placements in custom layouts. Administrators and video operators can now place participants in specific panes in a custom layout. See Place participants in specific panes.

Image signing

In previous versions the upgrade images were signed by Meeting Server to enhance the security when upgrading devices. From version 3.7, Meeting Management introduces signatures to Meeting Management upgrade images, and performs verification of the upgrade images (signature and integrity). Meeting Management uses these signatures to verify the authenticity of the upgrade images before each upgrade. This process is done automatically when administrators upgrade to a signed image and removes the need for manual verification. See Upgrade from previous version.
