This guide explains how to configure and run the included standalone TeamTalk server on either Windows, Mac OS X or Linux. If you plan to write your own TeamTalk server then check out the TeamTalk Server API and the sample applications TeamTalk Java Server Example (jTeamTalkServer) and TeamTalk C++ Server Example (TeamTalkServer).
The server executables are located in the 'Server' sub-directory of the SDK. Note, however, that the Android and iOS releases of the SDK do not include servers.
Here's a brief overview of the server binaries in each SDK and for each platform:
tt5srv.exe TeamTalk server as console application.tt5svc.exe TeamTalk server as an NT service.tt5srv TeamTalk server which can run as a console application and a daemon.tt5prosrv.exe TeamTalk server with encryption as console application.tt5prosvc.exe TeamTalk server with encryption as an NT service.tt5prosrv TeamTalk server with encryption which can run as a console application and a daemon.This section outlines the following:
The recommended way to configure the TeamTalk server is to use the -wizard option.
The TeamTalk server reads its configuration from an XML file, typically tt5srv.xml in the Standard SDK Edition and tt5prosrv.xml in Professional SDK Edition. This file can be edited manually (using an UTF-8 aware editor).
Below is an example a TeamTalk 5 Professional server's configuration file:

Here is an explanation of each of the tags in the server configuration file:
<general> Tags related to server's configuration.<server-name> The server's name.<motd> The message of the day (MOTD) which will be available to users once they log in. The MOTD supports the following variables:<max-users> The maximum number of users on the server.<auto-save> If 'true' the server will automatically save changes to it configuration file whenever the server's configuration is changed. When static channels are either created, updated or deleted this will also be automatically saved to the server's configuration.<bind-ip> The server should bind to this IP-address. If the computer running the server has multiple IP-address it is advised to specify the IP-address where the server should be running. If the server should run IPv6 the bind-ip MUST be specified. Use "::" to make the server run IPv6 on all interfaces.<tcpport> The TCP port the server must use. Ensure it's not taken by another application.<udpport> The UDP port the server must use. Ensure it's not taken by another application.<certificate-file> If certificate file and private key file are specified then the server is running in encrypted mode. Read section Setup TeamTalk Server Encryption on how to create certificate and private key files.<privatekey-file> Read <certificate-file> description above.<login-attempts> The maximum number of log in attempt with incorrect password before banning a user's IP-address.<max-logins-per-ipaddr> The maximum number of logins allowed from a single IP-address.<user-timeout> The number of seconds a client can be unresponsive without being dropped.<bandwidth-limits> Tags related to bandwidth usage.<voicetx-limit> The maximum number of bytes per second of voice allowed by the server to be forwarded to users.<vidcaptx-limit> The maximum number of bytes per second of video allowed by the server to be forwarded to users.<mediafiletx-limit> The maximum number of bytes per second of media streaming allowed by the server to be forwarded to users.<desktoptx-limit> The maximum number of bytes per second of desktop sharing allowed by the server to be forwarded to users.<totaltx-limit> The maximum number of bytes per second of all data allowed by the server to be forwarded to users.<file-storage> Tags related to storing files.<files-root> If file-sharing is enabled uploaded files will be stored at this location.<max-diskusage> The maximum number of bytes available for storing files on the server.<channel-diskquota> The default number of bytes available for storing files when a user creates a temporary channel.<logging> Tags related to logging<server-log-maxsize> The maximum size in bytes of the server log file before it creates a new one (log rotation). Specifying -1 means there is no limit. 0 means don't log events.<users> Tags related to user accounts<user> Tags related to a user account<username> The username of the user account (must be unique). Usernames facebook and bearware are reserved usernames for Facebook and BearWare.dk weblogins.<password> The password of the user account.<user-type> The type of user. 1 = Default user, 2 = Administrator.<user-rights> The user rights assigned to the user. This value is a bitmask where each bit specifies a right on the server. For accounts of user-type Administrator this value is ignored since administrator have unrestricted rights.<note> A note assigned to the user account.<userdata> A user specific value which can be used by applications to e.g. map the user account to a database.<init-channel> The channel which the user should initially join.<audiocodec-bps-limit> The highest bitrate for audio codec allowed by the user.

The owner of the file can delete it, or a channel operator, or an administrator type user.Try running the server executable to get an overview of the possible ways to run the server.
Note that running the NT service will not give any output since an NT service doesn't have a user-interface. Also note the NT service must be run using the Windows Administrator account.
In addition to the options described in section Starting a TeamTalk Server the NT Service (tt5svc.exe or tt5prosvc.exe) also accepts the following parameters:
-i Install the NT service.-s Start the NT service.-e Stop the NT service.-u Uninstall the NT service.Note the above commands must be run using the Windows Administrator account. Right-click C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe and choose "Run as Administrator".
To install multiple TeamTalk NT Services the sc.exe command can be used. Here is an example:
sc.exe create "TeamTalk Server 2" binPath= "C:\MyServer\tt5svc.exe -wd c:\MyServer" start= auto
The service in the above example will be called "TeamTalk Server 2" in the NT service list. Notice the spaces after binPath and start. For some strange reason these are required. To start the above service run:
sc.exe start "TeamTalk Server 2"
To stop it type:
sc.exe stop "TeamTalk Server 2"
To uninstall it type:
sc.exe delete "TeamTalk Server 2"
Setting up an encrypted TeamTalk server requires a TeamTalk Professional server.
A TeamTalk server supports two types of encryptions:
When running the server setup wizard (-wizard option) the server will ask which type of encryption to use.
The simplest way to start an encrypted TeamTalk server is to generate a certificate and private key file.
Run the following command line using OpenSSL to generate the certificate and privte key:
$ openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout ttserverkey.pem -nodes -x509 -days 3650 -out ttservercert.pem -outform PEM
Now run the server's setup wizard to specify the location of the certificate and private key files. Alternatively fill out tags <certificate-file> and <privatekey-file> in tt5prosrv.xml (see section Configurating the TeamTalk Server).
To test if the server is running in encrypted mode try the following command:
$ openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:10443
Doing peer verification, i.e. verifying the authenticity of the remote end, requires a quite complicated setup.
First the client and server must agree on a Certificate Authority (CA) which creates certificates.
To generate a certificate authority (CA) cert run the following command:
$ openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -keyform PEM -keyout ca.key -x509 -days 3650 -outform PEM -out ca.cer
Now generate the server's private key:
$ openssl genrsa -out ttserverkey.pem 4096
Now generate the server's certificate request to the CA:
$ openssl req -new -key ttserverkey.pem -out server.req -sha256
Now use the server's certificate request to generate the server's certificate:
$ openssl x509 -req -in server.req -CA ca.cer -CAkey ca.key -set_serial 100 -extensions server -days 365 -outform PEM -out ttservercert.pem -sha256
The procedure for the client's certificate and private key are similar. First generate the client's private key:
$ openssl genrsa -out ttclientkey.pem 4096
Now generate the client's certificate request to the CA:
$ openssl req -new -key ttclientkey.pem 4096 -out client.req
Now use the client's certificate request to generate the client's certificate:
$ openssl x509 -req -in client.req -CA ca.cer -CAkey ca.key -set_serial 101 -extensions client -days 365 -outform PEM -out ttclientcert.pem
To test if the server is running in encrypted mode with peer verification try the following command:
$ openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:10443 -cert ttclientcert.pem -key ttclientkey.pem
After the above operations the following files have been generated:
ca.cer ca.key ttserverkey.pem ttservercert.pem ttclientkey.pem ttclientcert.pem Now run the TeamTalk server's wizard and specify that the server should verify peer connections. The following files will be need in the process: ca.cer, ttserverkey.pem, ttservercert.pem
The TeamTalk server also supports multiple Certificate Authorities. In this case a directory must be specified where the server can't find all CA certs.
The 'Server' sub-directory also contains a PHP script named tt5admin.php which can be used for remote administation of a TeamTalk server. The TeamTalk PHP Admin must be executed in a console.
