NOTE:
SystemManager provides winbind status (running or not) on the
ContentDirector Properties
page. See the
Harmonic SystemManager User Guide
for details.
Verifying Communication with the Domain Controller
1. After confirming that the winbind service is running, verify the connection and
communication with the Domain Controller by typing the following:
sudo wbinfo –u | less
A list of users in the domain displays after a few seconds, for example:
[ovnuser@cld-1 ~]$ sudo wbinfo -u | less
SNV-ENG\eng-sysadmin
SNV-ENG\guest
SNV-ENG\support_388945a0
SNV-ENG\snv-eng-dc1$
SNV-ENG\krbtgt
SNV-ENG\admin
SNV-ENG\snv-eng-dc2$
SNV-ENG\qa1
SNV-ENG\qa2
SNV-ENG\qa3
SNV-ENG\qa4
2. Once this is verified, restart the
omcld
service so it can pick up the new domain configuration
by typing the following:
sudo service omcld restart

Domain
There are different methods for joining a ContentBridge 1000B or High Bandwidth ContentBridge

or Windows 2008. To add a single High Bandwidth ContentBridge to an Active Directory domain,

without affecting other devices, and enter the necessary Active Directory domain information.

that provide access for individual users are NOT supported and will need to be removed from the
ContentBridge configuration file. Make sure to perform step 8 in the following procedure to remove those
“CB” entries.
