Hello,
At our institute we consider using a Darwin Streaming Server for streaming
educational videos. Therefore we would like to restrict access to the
streams. Only our students or staff should be able to view videomaterial
with sensitive content.
I am aware that this can be achieved by adding users to the userlist at the
DSS with the qtpasswd mechanism and then put a qtaccess textfile in the
directory containing the videofiles. We are then able to say "require valid
user" or specify individuals with access to the streams.
But at a university with 15K+ students and 2K+ employees it might make a
full persons job to fill and maintain the users database. Besides, this is
already done in the LDAP Directory Service of our institute. The question is
obvious: is it possible to connect the authentication mechanism of the DSS
to (open) LDAP?
Erik.
