Mediabin MacClient and WebService

Hi,

MediaBin 4.5.3 is installed on W2K3 server. I am trying to get the MacClient installed and working.

I have installed the WebService on the IIS server which is on a different server from Mediabin. The Mediabin server is inside the firewall and the IIS server is outside the firewall. The authentication mode is LDAP.

I'm able to open up the page on a browser

http:///MediaBinWebService/MediabinServer.asmx

When I invoke the ValidateCurrentUser, it brings back anonymous user
When I invoke the TestMediaBinConnection, the XML response says the user logon failed.

Does this mean the Webservice is not installed and configured properly?

How does the MacClient connect to the Mediabin server? If it is using the Webservice on the IIS server, does it mean that the users inside the firewall will now have to go through the IIS outside the firewall when they use their MacClients?

When I install the MacClient, what should the entry for Server be? Should it be the IP address of the Mediabin server (like we use for Windows Client) or should it be the IP address of the IIS server (as specified in the manual)?

[left][font=Arial][size=2]There is also one other field called Path. Can you tell me what this Path is? The manual says "

[/size][/font]

The file path to the Web service on the MediaBin Asset Server."

In my case, I have the WebService on the IIS server. Should I point to the asmx file on the Webserver - http:///MediaBinWebService/MediabinServer.asmx ?

All help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Resh

All interactions with the Mac client whether inside or outside the firewall go through the web services API and therefore, in your case, via your IIS server.

In this regard it does behave differently form the Windows Native client which talks directly to the MediaBin server via a direct port. In most cases this makes it infeasible to use this client (or the MeM, Enterprise Manager) from outside a firewall.

When using LDAP authentication and the webservice you must also include a call to the web method "CreateAuthenticationTicket" before any other web service method. This should have been returned as part of the error message when you invoked TestMediaBinConnection.

As far as the Mac client, I believe there was an issue with the 4.5.3 version and LDAP. You should contact Interwoven support to see about getting a patch to the Mac client to fix this problem.
