4. Add an entry for the LDAP server to
/etc/hosts on the High Bandwidth ContentBridge. For
example:
10.4.224.100 OmneonServer omneonserver.opendir.local
Verifying Communication with the Domain Controller
Follow the steps described in Verifying Communication with the Domain Controller.
NOTE: Make sure the Harmonic MediaGrid cluster is also configured with LDAP.
NOTE: In order to access the Harmonic MediaGrid, the individual users must be added to the LDAP
domain.
Joining a ContentBridge 1000B to an LDAP Domain
Follow the procedures in this section in order.
NOTE: In order to join a ContentBridge 1000B to an LDAP domain, an LDAP or Open Directory server must
already be configured to serve as Samba Primary Domain Controller for the LDAP or Open Directory
domain.
NOTE: It is not recommended that you switch between ActiveDirectory and LDAP once an authentication
method is chosen. Before continuing, make sure the ContentBridge 1000B is not configured for
ActiveDirectory.
Creating a ContentBridge Account on the LDAP Server
Follow the steps in Creating a ContentBridge Account on the LDAP Server in the previous section.
NOTE: This procedure is required for joining a ContentBridge 1000B to an LDAP domain.
Configuring Samba Settings for the ContentBridge 1000B
1. Log on to the first ContentDirector in your system using the following user name and
password:
User name: ovnuser
Password: OVN@SvCaUsa
2. Remove samba private files stored on the ContentDirector with the following command:
sudo rm -f /tftpboot/config/gateway/secrets/*
3. Generate the file,
/tftpboot/config/gateway/smb.conf, as shown in Figure 4–2.
Modify the file as follows:
security = DOMAIN
workgroup = <domain_name>
password server = <ldap_FQDN>
add user script = /opt/omutils/bin/omadduser %u
a. Replace domain_name with the LDAP domain using the distinguished name of the search
base in the LDAP server configuration, which is the name that uniquely identifies an entry
in the directory.
