Joining an Omneon MediaGrid Cluster to a Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Domain
In addition to supporting Active Directory Services (ADS), Omneon MediaGrid supports
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). The LDAP protocol manages authentication when
querying and modifying directory services running over TCP/IP.
It is not recommended that you switch between ADS and LDAP once an authentication method is
chosen. Doing so requires resetting all Access Control Lists (ACLs), as the Security Identifiers (SIDs)
differ between the two methods. Refer to Choosing the Best Authentication Method for
information about authentication using Active Directory Services.
For information on joining a ContentBridge 1000B or ContentBridge 2010B/2010C to an LDAP
domain, refer to one of the following:
• Joining a ContentBridge 2010B/2010C to an LDAP Domain.
• Joining a ContentBridge 1000B to an LDAP Domain
IMPORTANT: You must be familiar with setting up LDAP clients to complete these steps.
