    Dear Friends,

    Has anybody gotten Finale Cut Server working in an Active Directory environment. We got the server running on a Xserv and bound it to our AD domain. Right now FCS can see local users but can not see AD users/groups. We have tried two approch:
    1.) Add AD groups into local groups and then add the to FCS.
    2.) Add the AD groups right into FCS using the preferences panel.

    Neither seems to work. I can still see users on the server but not the AD domain using FCS. Has anybody done this? It seems possible but need guidance. Thanks!

    Is your FCS server set up in “workgroup” mode? I’m still trying to wrangle this, but I keep hearing that the appropriate method to get AD working in 10.5 server is to configure workgroup mode.

    I can’t validate at this moment, as I don’t have my 10.5 server test box here – but I will try this week.

    [QUOTE][u]Quote by: MacTroll[/u][p]FCS does /not/ work with AD at this time.

    AD only allows specific authentication types. FCS wants to use an MD5 hash which AD won’t actually use without quite a fight.[/p][/QUOTE]

    You are kidding me. !@#$#%

    I hope that’s changed before this fall. I’m supposed to evaluate that as a core workflow tool in our environment, and no AD integration makes FCS dead in the water for us. MacTroll, where do you get these details???

    Since there has been a number of updates since this original post, has anyone been able to get this working?

    Was on the phone with an Apple Engineer yesterday. AD is not supported in FCS 1.0 – period.
