If you are using a name instead of an IP address for the ContentBridge, make sure you can ping the

starting with “CB” are for access via CIFS/SMB or FTP.

Security with Microsoft Domain Controllers
Security and Microsoft Domains
Security for the Harmonic 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 Harmonic 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.
