Connecting an Active Directory domain to a WORM storage server for Universal Shares and Instant Access

You can connect an Active Directory (AD) user domain to a WORM storage server for Universal Shares and Instant Access.

Note:

The AD domain is only used for Universal Shares and Instant Access. AD users are not currently supported on the deduplication shell.

Use the following procedure to connect an AD user domain from the deduplication shell.

To connect an AD user domain

Verify that the storage server is on the same network as the AD domain. If it is not, edit the settings so that the server can reach the domain.
Open the following ports between the storage server and the remote host if they are not already open:
- 139
- 445
Open an SSH session to the server as the msdpadm user.
Run the following command:
setting ActiveDirectory configure ad_server=<server name> domain=<domain name> domain_admin=<username>
Where <server name> is the AD server name, <domain name> is the domain that you want to connect, and <username> is the username of an administrator user on that domain.
When the prompt appears, enter the password for the domain administrator user.
