The oscam.user file governs who can access your server's decrypted streams. Every local box or remote client needs a designated block here.

The oscam.conf file sets up the foundation of your server. It configures system performance, activates the WebIF monitoring panel, and opens communication protocols for your client boxes.
Before diving into the configurations, OSCam must be installed on a compatible operating system, such as Ubuntu or CentOS. The configuration files are typically located in /etc/oscam/ or /usr/local/etc/oscam/ . The installation approach varies based on your hardware environment:
If you are using OSCam with a local receiver (like a set-top box) or TVHeadend, the oscam.dvbapi file defines which encryption system (CAID) to prioritize for specific channels. This file uses a "first match" logic to filter ECM (Entitlement Control Message) requests. It is critical for optimizing performance and ignoring unnecessary processing. For a local TVHeadend setup
The oscam.user file controls who can connect to the server. Each user gets its own [account] section:
OScam relies on three primary text files located in your configuration directory (usually /etc/tuxbox/config/ or /usr/local/etc/ ). These files work together to define the server behavior, connect card readers, and manage user permissions. 1. oscam.conf (Global Settings)
This file manages the permissions for clients connecting to the OSCam server. The sections in oscam.user are recurring, corresponding to different client devices. For a local TVHeadend setup, a common configuration is:
