Name

SYNOPSIS
Configure
Groups
List
Status
Unconfigure
Users
DESCRIPTION
You can use the ActiveDirectory command to perform the following tasks:
Configure the appliance for AD user authentication.
Add or remove one or more AD user groups.
List all AD users and user groups.
Add or remove one or more AD users.
Unconfigure AD user authentication for the appliance.
OPTIONS
The following commands and options are available under Authentication > ActiveDirectory:
- Configure
Configure the appliance for AD user authentication. When prompted for the Domain <Hostname or IP address>, enter either the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or the IP address of the Active Directory server. When prompted for the User, enter the user name of the AD server Administrator. When prompted for a Password, enter a password for that user.
Note:
At the Domain <Hostname or IP address> prompt, it is recommended that you use the FQDN.
If the appliance host name contains more than 15 characters, a message appears to inform you that the host name cannot be used as the NetBIOS name for Active Directory configuration. To complete the Active Directory configuration, you must specify a NetBIOS name for the appliance as follows:
Maximum of 15 characters.
The name cannot include any of the following special characters: \ * + = | : ; " ? < > ,
The name must be different than other names on the network.
- Groups
Add or remove one or more AD user groups. Only the user groups that already exist on the AD server can be added to the appliance.
Use the Groups Add <groupname> command to add a comma-separated list of AD user groups.
Use the Groups Remove <groupname> command to delete a comma-separated list of AD user groups.
- List
List all of the AD users and user groups that have been added to the appliance.
- Status
View the status of AD authentication on the appliance.
- Unconfigure
Unconfigure AD user authentication for the appliance.
Note:
Before you unconfigure the AD server, you must revoke the roles from all of the AD users that have been added to the appliance. Otherwise the operation fails.
Warning:
Unconfiguring AD user authentication disables and deletes the current AD configuration. The AD users are deleted from the appliance, but not from the AD server.
- Users
Add or remove one or more AD users. Only the users that already exist on the AD server can be added to the appliance.
Use the Users Add <username> command to add a comma-separated list of AD users.
Use the Users Remove <username> command to delete a comma-separated list of AD users.
Note:
As a matter of best practice, you should delete a registered user or user group from the appliance before deleting it from the LDAP server, AD server, or NIS server. If a user is removed from the remote directory service first (and not removed from the appliance), the user is listed as a registered user on the appliance but will not be able to log on.
