Configuring Active Directory (CLI)

Language:

Go to configuration services ad.
```
hostname:> configuration services ad
```

To view an existing configuration, enter show.

hostname:configuration services ad> show
Properties:
                     <status> = online
                         mode = domain
                       domain = eng.fishworks.com

Children:
                          domain => Join an Active Directory domain
                       workgroup => Join a Windows workgroup

Observe that the appliance is currently operating in the domain eng.fishworks.com.

Following is an example of leaving that domain and joining a workgroup.

hostname:configuration services ad> workgroup
hostname:configuration services ad workgroup> set workgroup=WORKGROUP
hostname:configuration services ad workgroup> commit
hostname:configuration services ad workgroup> done
hostname:configuration services ad> show
Properties:
                     <status> = disabled
                         mode = workgroup
                    workgroup = WORKGROUP

To configure the site and preferred domain controller in preparation for joining another domain, enter the following commands:

hostname:configuration services ad> done
hostname:> configuration services smb
hostname:configuration services smb> set ads_site=sf
hostname:configuration services smb> set pdc=192.168.3.21
hostname:configuration services smb> commit
hostname:configuration services smb> show
Properties:
                     <status> = online
                 lmauth_level = 4
                          pdc = 192.168.3.21
                     ads_site = sf
hostname:configuration services smb> done

To join the new domain after the properties are configured, enter the following commands.

When joining an AD domain, you must set the user and password each time you commit the node.

hostname:> configuration services ad
hostname:configuration services ad> domain 
hostname:configuration services ad domain> set domain=fishworks.com
hostname:configuration services ad domain> set user=Administrator
hostname:configuration services ad domain> set password=*******
hostname:configuration services ad domain> commit
hostname:configuration services ad domain> done
hostname:configuration services ad> show
Properties:
                     <status> = online
                         mode = domain
                       domain = fishworks.com
