| howdy.
i'm reading the official docs for autodesk flame and for wiretap, but
that entire world is quite new to me. Can anyone suggest some
reading/learning materials so i can better understand the overall
autodesk "IFF" world, and how the pieces work together?
thanks in advance!

| Hey what are people using on the desktop these days for 3D monitors. We have been using the LG
LG D2342P-BN that has been replaced by the LG D2343P-BN but I have also heard they are no longer going to make 3D monitors. Anyone one have preferences to what to use? Must be passive
glasses.

SSA Wiki? |
| posted by Saker Klippsten on Nov. 19, 2013, 6 p.m. (2 days ago) |
| After reading JF's Dump about Flame and S&W...?
Can we setup a StudioSysadmin General Wiki we can all start contributing too.? The same questions come up over and over it would be great to have something more organized for everyone refer too and easier to update overtime.
There could be different sections..
Flame ? ? ?-Networking? ? ? ?-Storage Config
Switches ? ? ?-Cisco ? ? ?-Foundry ? ? ?-Force10? ? ? ? etc..?
Networking ? ? ?-Linux ? ? ? ?-NFS Mounting blah blah.. ? ? ?-Windows ? ? ?-OSX
If not I have no problem hosting one at our COLO on a VM ?for people to contribute and SSA can Link to that from its website.

| Hi all,
Just had to generate another license for a compositor. You know the
usual login to website, download the file, move to a place specific
for the particular machine.
Got tired of it and made a small little script automating the first
part so the rest is easier.
Wanted to share it if anyone else could use it.
Just fill in email and password of your account and use the hw id as
argument to the script.

What does a render license do ?? Can we use the render license on our "publishing" machine.
We got a Autodesk Iffs license, on floating and wondering if we can get a "render" license to run on a second Smoke machine, to render and publish our timelines, which are?created on the first Smoke, while it?s working with the main Iffs genarts license.?

Directory services / SSO - what are you doing? |
| posted by Rory Falloon on Nov. 22, 2013, 12:10 p.m. (2 days ago) |
| Hello.
This has come up before but not the last couple of years that I can find on the list. What are you using for authentication in your shop? Are you unified on one type for all O/S's? If so, what are you using?
Linux/NIS, Windows/AD has and will do the trick for me but obviously a unified approach to this would hopefully solve some headaches. Certain vendor requirements have caused us to enforce password complexity and length rules which are non-existent in NIS. I feel LDAP/AD would be better for this. I'm thinking of biting the bullet and pushing all towards AD, Zimbra and Shotgun included, and binding Linux auth to AD.
Is anyone using AD for their authentication but leaving the other parts of the directory services to (Open?) LDAP?. I feel like this would be ideal.
Thanks.
