Guidelines For Active Directory Integration; E-Mail Alerts - SnapStream Media Enterprise TV Server Administrator's Manual

Guidelines for Active Directory integration

The SnapStream Active Directory integration feature allows users to log in to SnapStream using their
Active Directory or Novell password. Guidelines for AD integration are as follows:
•
The server must be added to your domain
•
A username and password must be entered in the Security Settings section of the Users page.
The username should be entered as domain\user.
•
The username entered in Security Settings must have permission to make queries on the
properties of all users who will be granted access to SnapStream.
•
The SnapStream Broker Windows service on the master node must be configured to log in as
the same user who is entered in Security Settings. (Contact SnapStream Support for assistance
with this step)
•
When a user attempts to log in, the username can usually be entered without domain
information. For very large domains, it may be helpful to enter the username as domain\user.
Integration with Novell is also available through the same menu.

E-mail Alerts

Your SnapStream can be configured to send warning e-mail notifications when software errors occur.
These alerts are an important tool for catching problems early and maximizing uptime. Please take a
moment to enable warning notifications, on the E-mail page of the Admin console.
E-mail alerts are also available for the SnapStream system's hard disk array. Please see Hard Drives
on page 14 for information.
