Setup Guidelines

Warning! Ektron strongly recommends configuring a secure socket layer (SSL), especially if you are using Active Directory Integration. SSL encrypts passwords that are otherwise sent as clear text to the Ektron CMS400.NET server. See Also: Configuring SSL

The two ways to set up Active Directory are contrasted in the table below. Below the table are instructions for each setup option.
