Configuring Active Directory

The name resolution must be configured correctly on Veritas Access. Domain Name System (DNS) is usually used for name resolution.

To configure Active Directory (AD) for the first time

  1. Prerequisites:

    You need the user name of an existing AD domain user with permission to perform the join domain operation.

  2. Click Settings > User Management > Configure Active Directory.
  3. Enter the requested information.
  4. View the Recent Activity panel for the status of the task.

See About Active Directory (AD).
