Hardened Security

Using a Cardinal Account will strengthen the authentication layer of your self-hosted apps. With the full power of Cardinal's cloud infrastructure on their side, your self-hosted apps will benefit from stricter user verification that can give you peace of mind when sharing media with friends and family.

In addition, the cloud authentication paradigm means that your Media Server is relieved of credential management duties, so that you don't have to worry about how passwords are stored or how your users will get their essential emails.

Cloud Services

Users of a cloud account will also gain access to Cardinal's cloud services. All cloud accounts in a Media Server will have access to the features in the server owner's subscription.
