Final Cut Server 1.5: Active Directory bound Windows clients require a custom Kerberos configuration file for authentication
Summary
In order for Active Directory bound Windows Final Cut Server client systems to successfully authenticate to Final Cut Server, you must create a custom Kerberos configuration file on the Windows client system.
Products Affected
Final Cut Server 1.x
Use the template below to create the custom Kerberos configuration file, ensuring that the syntax and case are preserved. Replace the ".example.com" and "EXAMPLE.COM" with your Active Directory realm, domain, and kdc information.
-----COPY BELOW THIS LINE-----
[libdefaults]
default_realm = EXAMPLE.COM
default_checksum = rsa-md5
[realms]
EXAMPLE.COM = {
kdc = ad.example.com
}
[domain_realm]
.example.com = EXAMPLE.COM
-----COPY ABOVE THIS LINE-----
The file should be named "krb5.ini" and placed in the Windows root directory, usually: C:\WINDOWS\krb5.ini
Additional Information
Note: Complex Active Directory/Kerberos environments may need additional modification to the template provided.
