CHAPTER 16: AUTHENTICATION 379
Figure 16-10 Joining an Active Directory Domain
When you click Join Domain, you are prompted to enter login credentials for the Active
Directory server. The login information is used only to create the Active Directory computer
account and is not saved. Enter the login information and click Create Account.
Note — You must enter the sAMAccountName user name for the Active Directory user. Also,
verify that users enter their sAMAccountName user name when they log in to their computers.
Once an account is created, the status of the account creation is displayed below the Join
Domain button. If the account creation fails, the status and reason for error is displayed.
Also, when you view all realms on the Network > Authentication page, the appliance displays
warning text in red saying that the domain was not joined for any realm that did not create a
computer account.
Status tells you whether or not AsyncOS has
created the computer account.
Click to join the Active
Directory domain.
