Configuring management login from Active Directory domain
AltaVault supports management login from either the Management Console (UI) or command-line interface (CLI) for
domain users using their Active Directory (AD) credentials.
Note:
The built-in AltaVault admin and monitor user accounts cannot be used for AD login. After AD login is enabled, you will not
be able to log in using the built-in admin or monitor account. Management login from the AD domain requires you to add user
accounts with the read/write permission for the Admin settings role.
This section covers the following information:

Configuring login from AD
To configure management login via Active Directory
1.
From the Management Console, choose Configure > Host Settings.
2.
In the DNS settings area, specify the DNS servers that can contact the domain controllers used by AltaVault. The
preferred domain controllers AltaVault can use are specified in the next steps.
3.
From the Management Console, choose Configure > SMB.
4.
If not already configured, select Domain and complete the domain configuration as described in
then click Join Domain.
For Username, you can enter any user that has administrator privileges to join the domain.
5.
From the Management Console, choose Configure > User Permissions.
6.
Under Role-based Accounts, select
Add a New User
and enter a user name and password. The user name must
map to that of an existing user in the AD domain. Do not qualify the user name with a domain name. For example,
“user” is acceptable, but DOMAIN\user or user@DOMAIN is not.
7.
Under Roles and Permissions, select the roles and permissions provided to the user.
To enable AD login, you must assign this user with the Admin role and read and write permissions. This user will
then have privileges to add, delete or change permissions for other users.
8.
Click
Add
to save user roles and permissions.
9.
Repeat steps 6 through 8 to add additional users.
10.
From the Management Console, choose Configure > General Settings.
