The user may still log in with the Override admin account if the
LDAP servers are inaccessible.

Radio Button to indicate which Active Directory (AD) object

object classes are added.

The RCS Domain field contains the name of the Active
Directory Domain chosen to hold all objects that represent
Remote Console Switches and SIPs.
Root Domain

Group
Container
(Standard
schema set only)
This field, available when the standard schema is selected,
contains part of the Distinguished Name of an Organizational
Unit (OU) object in Active Directory. The OU is used to hold
group objects that relate users to access controlled Remote
Console Switches and their attached SIPs.
For example, suppose the Distinguished Name of the chosen OU
is: ou=KVM-AccessControls,dc=MyCom,dc=com. In this case,
the Group Container field should be set to “KVM-
AccessControls.” The name entered into the Group Container
field must be unique among all OU objects in the Group
Container domain. You may choose to use a previously created
OU for the Group Container, or create one specifically for this
purpose.
The default Group Container is KVM.
Group
Container
Domain
(Standard
schema set only)
This field, available when the Standard schema is selected, is the
DNS name of the Active Directory domain where the group
container resides.
