Internal system/domain account considerations
By default, the internal system account that the GV STRATUS system uses to access assets and some internal system functions is the GVAdmin account. If your site policies require a fully qualified domain account or a different account, that account must be configured throughout the GV STRATUS system.
You configure the internal system account settings in GV STRATUS Control Panel. To locate these settings, click Core | STRATUS Core Services | Primary Site. This account is used by the K2 Summit system and by the GV STRATUS system to write proxy files to the SMB proxy share on the server hosting the GV STRATUS system HTTP server.
- All GV STRATUS, K2 Summit, High resolution media storage, and Proxy media storage servers
must allow the internal system account to have administrator privileges. This includes the
following:
- The proxy share on the server hosting the GV STRATUS system HTTP
server. Depending on system configuration, this could be one of the following types of
servers:
- GV STRATUS Express server
- GV STRATUS Proxy server
- GV STRATUS Proxy Storage file system server
- Grass Valley Media Server MDI
- The Xcode Engine working directory
- K2 Summit system
- The EDIUS project folder on the K2 media file system
- An export share to which K2 media or GV STRATUS assets are exported
- For consistency, a server that runs the FileZilla FTP service and the associated Generic FTP MDI settings can also use the internal system account for FTP access.
- The proxy share on the server hosting the GV STRATUS system HTTP
server. Depending on system configuration, this could be one of the following types of
servers:
- GV STRATUS software components that are installed with the following installation packages
require the internal system account. You configure this account in deployment options when
you install the software.
