System Configuration
4. Create a Samba machine account with the hostname of the ContentBridge. You will need to provide
the password for the user. For example, for a ContentBridge 2010B/2010C with hostname hbcb205:
[root@eng-ldap ~]# /var/lib/samba/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w -i hbcb205
5. Check if the account is created. For example, for a ContentBridge 2010B/2010C with hostname
hbcb205:
[root@eng-ldap ~]# /var/lib/samba/sbin/smbldap-usershow hbcb205$
NOTE: Configuring different ContentBridges in a MediaGrid cluster with different directory access
authentication protocols (for example, ADS, LDAP, and OpenDirectory) is not supported. The following set of
steps will reset the authentication mechanism for all ContentBridges in the cluster.
Configure Samba Settings on the ContentBridge
To configure Samba settings:
1. Connect a monitor and keyboard to the ContentBridge 2010B/2010C.
2. Log on to the ContentBridge using the following user name and password:
User name: ovnuser
Password: OVN@SvCaUsa
3. Stop smb service. For example, for a ContentBridge 2010B/2010C with hostname hbcb205:
[root@hbcb205 ~]# service smb stop
4. Update the following configuration file: /opt/omclb/conf/smb.conf
Note the following settings:
security = DOMAIN
workgroup =
password server =
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.
b. Replace ldap_FQDN with the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the LDAP server.
5. Copy /opt/omclb/conf/smb.conf to /etc/samba/smb.conf.
Join the ContentBridge to the LDAP Domain
To join the ContentBridge to the LDAP domain:
1. Make sure you are logged in to the ContentBridge, and then enter the following command:
net rpc join -U% -S
The following example shows the expected result:
Joined domain SNV-ENG.
