Roku and Active Directory
Greetings -
I'm working on a side project for my company to make some videos accessible from home - we would prefer to use the Roku device as a medium by which employees can enter their Active Directory credentials, and have access to video files which are located on a file server on our network. I've been doing research and dabbling with the Roku SDK examples provided, but I'm having trouble in a few key areas.
First of all, I'm unable to find a method by which to authenticate a user. It seems that the Roku device is primarily made to authenticate with webservers, is it possible to have it authenticate with a file server on Active Directory? Any suggestions or experience that anyone could share would be much appreciated. Thanks!
