Hi Alexander, 
What you are looking for to enable the connection between your Ncast Capture 
Agent and the admin is in the main Matterhorn config.properties file of your 
admin node , listed under 

org.opencastproject.security.digest.user=YOUR_USER
and
org.opencastproject.security.digest.pass=YOUR_PASSWORD

The values YOUR_USER and YOUR_PASSWORD need to match the values on your Ncast 
Capture Agent
