Enabling QuickTime Streaming authenticated access for Active Directory users

Issue or symptom

Active Directory users may be unable to authenticate to a QuickTime Streaming server.

Solution

When using a Mac OS X QuickTime Streaming service that is bound to Active Directory, the "basic" authentication scheme must be selected in the QuickTime Streaming setting's access panel. The QuickTime Streaming server default authentication scheme is digest authentication, which is not supported by the Active Directory configuration.
