Screen Sharing and Authentication

During deployment, I used this command to bind my clients to the directory server:

yes | dsconfigldap [-fvxsgemSN] -a myservername -n “myservername” -c $computerid -u diradmin -p mydiradminpass -l localadmin -q localadmin's pass

after doing this, I can no longer use screen sharing to access the bound clients. Unable to authenticate.

Is this becuase of the

-s	enforce not using cleartext authentication via policy

flag?

Is there still a way for me to screen share into my clients w/o having to use logmein?

Will ARD do it?

Mac mini, OS X Server

From the menu bar on the Screen Sharing server, select

 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Users & Groups ▹ Login Options

and check the box marked

Allow network users to log in at the login window

If there's a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane, you may need to click it to unlock the settings. Enter your login password when prompted.

Note that this option is only available when the server is bound to a network directory server.
