Now that you have Unix-enabled an Active Directory user, you can log in to a local Unix host using your Active Directory user name and password.
To test the Active Directory login
- From the Control Center, under Login to remote host, enter:
- Host name: Tthe Unix host name.
- User name: The Active Directory user name, such as ADuser.
Click Login to log in to the Unix host with your Active Directory user account.
- Enter the password for the Active Directory user account.
- At the command line prompt, enter id to view the Unix account information.
- After a successful log in, verify that the user obtained a Kerberos ticket by entering:
/opt/quest/bin/vastool klist
The vastool klist command lists the Kerberos tickets stored in a user's credentials cache. This proves the local user is using the Active Directory user credentials.
- Enter exit to close the command shell.
You just learned how to manage Active Directory users and groups from Management Console for Unix by Unix-enabling an Active Directory group and user account. You tested this out by logging into the Unix host with your Active Directory user name and password. Optionally, you can expand on this tutorial by creating and Unix enabling additional Active Directory users and groups and by testing different Active Directory settings such as account disabled and password expired.
