credentials.

Additional upgrade steps for AD/LDAP authentication
Previous versions of the virtual appliance version of this software required you to
edit the hyper9-config-jaas.conf configuration file to configure authentication for
your Active Directory (AD) or LDAP users. Starting with SolarWinds Virtualization
Manager 4.0, you set up authentication for AD/LDAP users from the
Authentication Server configuration page.
If you have never made changes to the configuration file before upgrading,
configuring authentication for your AD/LDAP users works as described in
Configuring authentication servers.
If you are upgrading from 4.0 to newer versions of Virtualization Manager, you
must reenter the bind password.
If you have existing changes to the configuration file, authentication for AD/LDAP
users may not work until you manually update the configuration file.
To fix AD/LDAP authentication for an upgraded appliance:
1. Log on to the administration website of SolarWinds Virtualization Manager
with your admin credentials.
Note: Typically, this is https://hostname:5480 where hostname is the host
name or IP address of your appliance. Acknowledge the security certificate
warning, and then continue to the website.
2. Click Management > Edit Configuration.
