208 Using the CMC With Microsoft Active Directory
Optional: If you want to specify an LDAP or Global Catalog server instead
of using the servers returned by the DNS server to search for a user name,
type the following command to enable the
Specify Server option:
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
cfgADSpecifyServerEnable 1
NOTE: When you use the Specify Server option, the host name in the
certificate authority-signed certificate is not matched against the name of the
specified server. This is particularly useful if you are a CMC administrator,
because it enables you to enter a host name as well as an IP address.
After you enable the Specify Server option, you can specify an LDAP
server and global catalog with IP addresses or fully qualified domain names
(FQDNs) of the servers. The FQDNs consist of the host names and the
domain names of the servers.
To specify an LDAP server, type:
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
cfgADDomainController <AD domain controller IP
address>
To specify a Global Catalog server, type:
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
cfgADGlobalCatalog <AD global catalog IP address>
NOTE: Setting the IP address as 0.0.0.0 disables the CMC from searching for a
server.
NOTE: You can specify a list of LDAP or global catalog servers separated by
commas. The CMC allows you to specify up to three IP addresses or host
names.
NOTE: LDAP or LDAPs that are not correctly configured for all domains and
applications may produce unexpected results during the functioning of the
existing applications/domains.
2 Specify a DNS server using one of the following options:
• If DHCP is enabled on the CMC and you want to use the DNS
address obtained automatically by the DHCP server, type the
following command:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
cfgDNSServersFromDHCP 1
