3.3.3.3. Running the Strawberry Client alongside the Nexis Client Manager

Prerequsites

• This feature requires Strawberry client 7.0.11 or newer.
• These instructions apply only to macOS.
• These instructions apply only to systems running Nexis Client Manager.

Introduction

When using the Strawberry client and a third-party bin-locking tool, such as Nexis Client Manager, on the same machine, Strawberry will attempt to unload Avid’s kernel extension to avoid conflicts with its own bin-locking mechanism. This chapter explains how to configure Strawberry to ignore the presence of Nexis Client Manager, allowing both tools to coexist smoothly.

Usage

1. Ensure the Strawberry client is not running.
2. Open a macOS Terminal.
3. Navigate to the directory containing the Strawberry client configuration file.
4. Open and edit the configuration file as root (for example, by running sudo nano pamclient.json.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the file. Add a comma to the end of the preceding line, then insert the "allow_third_party_bin_locking_extensions": true parameter just before the closing brace.

Example:

   "storage-type": 5,
   "uidgid-on": false,
   "allow_third_party_bin_locking_extensions": true
}

6. Save your changes and exit the text editor.
