Security with Microsoft Domain Controllers
Security and Microsoft Domains
Troubleshooting
Security for the Omneon MediaGrid is achieved by joining a Windows Domain Controller/Active
Directory for user authentication. The Domain Controller sends the positive or negative response to
the authentication challenge back to the ContentDirectors. ContentManager allows you to set user and
group-level security for the various Omneon MediaGrid files and directories by using Access Control
Lists (ACLs). In addition, the following commands for ContentDirectors and Windows should allow
you to display security settings and perform security related operations.
