Prior to configuring LiveStream 5 you should have at your disposal some information about your organisation’s directory service, if any. Several different implementations of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) are supported:
All supported Directory Service types use an underlying variation of LDAP. Therefore the same information is required for each type. In Windows Active Directory the LDAP information is not readily apparent. To view this information you may use the Windows Server utilities LDP or ADSIEDIT.msc, which can be opened from Start -> Run. For more information please see this how-to.
Required Info | Your Directory |
---|---|
Address of Domain Controller: | e.g. server1.getbusi.local |
Domain Search Base: | e.g. DC=getbusi,DC=local |
Bind Distinguished Username: | e.g. CN=Domain user,CN=Users,DC=getbusi,DC=local |
Password for distinguished user: | e.g. domainuserspassword275! |
If you wish to use Seamless Authentication with your Active Directory you will need to join the server to the domain. Seamless Authentication will use Kerberos where possible but otherwise fall-back to NTLMv2.
As well as the following items you will need to ensure that your LiveStream 5 server has an A-record defined in your Primary Domain Controller’s Domain Name Service.
