For additional security, you can replace the self-signed, factory-installed certificate with another SSL certificate, for example, with one that is signed by a third-party CA. Once you have obtained your signed certificate and private key, you can install them by using the QoreStor UI or CLI. Only one certificate can be installed on a QoreStor system at any given point in time. The same certificate will be used for HTTPS access to object containers.

- Click Apply.
Configuring Active Directory settings
You can easily join the QoreStor to your Microsoft Active Directory Services (ADS) domain. This topic describes how to configure Active Directory (AD) settings for the QoreStor system, which requires that you direct yourQoreStor system to join or leave a domain that contains a Microsoft Active Directory Service (ADS). Instructions are provided below to join an ADS domain or to leave an ADS domain. When you join QoreStor to an ADS domain, this disables the Network Time Protocol (NTP) service and instead uses the domain-based time service.
To configure QoreStor for a domain using ADS, complete the following steps:
- In the left navigation menu, click .
- Click Join Domain.
- Enter the following AD logon information:
- Domain —Enter a fully qualified domain name for the ADS; for example, AD12.acme.com. (This is a required field.)
NOTE: Supported domain names are limited to 64 characters in length and can only consist of a combination of A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and three special characters: a dash (-), a period (.), and an underscore (_).
- Organization—Enter a valid organizational name that meets the organization name guidelines for the ADS. (This is an optional field.)
- Username—Enter a valid user name that meets the user name guidelines for the ADS. (This is a required field.)
NOTE: Supported user names are limited to 64 characters in length and can only consist of a combination of A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and three special characters: a dash (-), a period (.), and an underscore (_).
- Password—Enter a valid password that meets the password guidelines for the ADS. (This is a required field.)
- Domain —Enter a fully qualified domain name for the ADS; for example, AD12.acme.com. (This is a required field.)
- Click Join.
- To leave a domain, find the domain on the Active Directory page and click Leave Domain.
- In the Leave Active Directory pane, enter the username and password for the ADS domain.
- Click Leave.
