Joining a Harmonic MediaGrid cluster to a Local User Authentication Domain
6. Remove any “CB” entries that provide access to individual users from the/etc/passwd file
locally on the ContentBridge and <CLBHOSTNAME> file under /tftpboot/config/gateway on
all ContentDirectors.
Open
/etc/passwd
and delete entries for the same individual users (the entries do not contain
“CB” in this file).
NOTE:
In order to access the Harmonic MediaGrid, the individual users must be added to the Open
Directory domain.
7. Add the following line to the ContentBridge configuration file. This can be done via
SystemManager or by editing /tftpboot/config/gateway/<hostname> manually on ALL
ContentDirectors.
NATIVE <Cluster IP or DNS name> <file system name>
Replace <hostname> with the hostname of the ContentBridge.
8. Restart the gateway service:
service gateway restart
9. Repeat steps 1-8 for all remaining ContentBridges in the Harmonic MediaGrid cluster.

Verifying Communication with the Domain Controller
NOTE:
Make sure the Harmonic MediaGrid cluster is also configured with Apple Open Directory.
NOTE:
Make sure that winbind service is stopped. If you do not stop the winbind service on the
ContentBridge, it will interfere with authentication when you attempt to access the Harmonic MediaGrid
using CIFS.
NOTE:
In order to access the Harmonic MediaGrid, the individual users must be added to the Apple Open
Directory domain.
Joining a Harmonic MediaGrid cluster to a Local User
Authentication Domain
Create local user accounts and authenticate them across devices without an external directory
service such as Microsoft Active Directory or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
Registering servers in a cluster
Create a master index of all the associated devices within Harmonic MediaGrid. A master index is
required to manage local users across a cluster.
1. As an administrator, log on to High Bandwidth ContentBridge or ContentDirector at https://

Webmin service.
2. Go to
Cluster
>
Webmin Servers Index
and click
Register a new server.
3. Enter the IP address and other details of the server. Use the administrator credentials for
username and password.
