authenticate --join --domain <domain name> [--ou <org-unit name>] --user <user name>

Description

Joins the QoreStor to an Active Directory Services (ADS) domain when you specify the ADS domain name and a valid user (administrator) for that domain.

NOTE: When attempting to join the ADS domain, the administrator password is required for that domain to ensure that the join operation is successful. 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 two special characters: a dash (-) and a period (.).

NOTE: If you had previously joined the QoreStor to an ADS domain before running Restore Manager (RM), after it completes you must manually rejoin the desired ADS domain using the authenticate --join command.

Syntax

authenticate --join --domain <domain name> [--ou <org-unit name>] --user <user name> [--domain-join-cli]

Where

--domain   	Name of ADS domain to join.
--ou      	 Name of the organizational unit to join.
--user    	 Name of ADS user with permissions to join the domain.
--domain-join-cli	Alternate join method to join domain

Result

Enter password for administrator@ads.storage.local:
Successfully joined domain ads.storage.local
Disabling NTP service... done.
Updated Windows Access Server Configuration.
Updated Kerberos configuration.
Updated machine password.
Updated DNS.
Restarting Windows Access Server... done.

NOTE: The --ou command is optional and allows for defining a specific organizational group in the ADS that requires its own administrative access rights (such as an executive management or finance group). In case of multiple organizational groups, use the following format: "<topLevelOU/middleLevelOU/LowerLevelOU/TargetOU>”

authenticate --leave [--user <user name>] [--force]

Description

Enables a QoreStor to leave a Microsoft Active Directory Services (ADS) domain when you provide a valid administrator password.

Syntax

authenticate --leave [--user <user name>] [--force]

Where

--user    Name of ADS user with permissions to leave the domain.
--force   Leave the domain without informing ADS.

Result

Enter password for administrator@ads.storage.local:
Successfully left domain ads.storage.local.
Updated Windows Access Server configuration.
Updated Kerberos configuration
Restarting Windows Access Server... done.
Enabling NTP service... done.

NOTE: The --force command is optional and allows the QoreStor to leave the ADS domain when communication between the system and the ADS domain is lost and the --leave operation is pending or in progress.

NOTE: If you notice authenticate --leave fails to disjoin the system from the ADS domain in case the domain controller is not reachable or if trust is broken; please retry authenticate --leave operations after service ocards restart or a system reboot.
