Domain join using Active Directory
ThinLinux 2.2 supports domain join and domain login using Active Directory credentials. Active Directory allows an administrator to enable or
disable the user authentication to specic domains. You can either join the terminal to the domain, or use the INI parameter to authenticate
the user from Active Directory without joining the terminal.
To join your thin client to a domain, enter the following details on the Active Directory page:
• Active Directory Domain Name
• Organizational Unit for Thin Client (OU)
• Administrator Name
• Administrator Password
After the thin client is added to the domain, disable the Autologon option, and restart the thin client. The domain name is displayed on the
ThinLinux login screen. You must enter the domain username and password to log in to the ThinLinux desktop. An error message is
displayed if the thin client fails to join the domain.
NOTE
: On successful login, you can view the Domain Name and Domain IP in the System information dialog box. Add user should
disable the Auto login and need restart the device then able to login domain user
