Joining a Harmonic MediaGrid Cluster to an Apple Open Directory Domain
NOTE: It is not necessary to manually create a ContentBridge account on the Apple Open Directory server.
Configuring Samba Settings on the High Bandwidth ContentBridge
1. Connect a monitor and keyboard to the High Bandwidth ContentBridge.
2. Log on to the ContentBridge using the following user name and password:
User name: ovnuser
Password: OVN@SvCaUsa
3. Type the following command to stop the smb service:
service smb stop
4. Update the following configuration file:
/opt/omclb/conf/smb.conf
Note the following settings:
security = DOMAIN
workgroup = <domain_name>
password server = <opendir_FQDN>
add user script = /opt/omutils/bin/omadduser %u
client ntlmv2 auth = yes
Replace domain_name with the OpenDirectory domain using the distinguished name of
the search base in Open Directory server configuration, which is the name that uniquely
identifies an entry in the directory.
Replace opendir_FQDN with the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the Apple Open
Directory server.
5. Copy
/opt/omclb/conf/smb.conf to /etc/samba/smb.conf.
Adding the Open Directory Server Address to Configuration Files
Add entries for the Open Directory server in two configuration files: /etc/hosts and /etc/
resolv.conf
. The first configuration file contains the IP address for the Open Directory Server, the
fully qualified domain name and any aliases. The second configuration file contains the IP address
of the Open Directory server which has been configured with a DNS record.
1. Add an entry for the Apple Open Directory server to
/etc/hosts on the High Bandwidth
ContentBridge:
a. From your SSH terminal, type the following command:
sudo vi /etc/hosts
b. Add a line at the end to specify the Open Directory Server’s IP address. Use the following
format:
<IP address> <open_directory_server_FQDN> <open_directory_server_
name>
An example would look like the following:
10.20.9.52 odserver.support.local odserver
2. Add an entry for the Apple Open Directory server to
/etc/resolv.conf. Use the following
format:
<DNS name> <IP address>
An example would look like the following:
odserver 10.20.9.52
