The Authentication Services Readiness report provides a snapshot of the readiness of each host to join Active Directory.
|
Note: This report is available when you are logged on as the supervisor or an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role. |
To create the Authentication Services Readiness report
The report opens a new Authentication Services Readiness tab on the Reporting tab.
It launches a new browser or application page and displays the report in the selected format.
|
Note: When generating multiple reports simultaneously or generating a single report that contains a large amount of data, One Identity recommends that you increase the JVM memory. (See JVM Memory Tuning Suggestions for details.) |
Once you have added and profiled one or more hosts, and checked them for AD Readiness, you can remotely deploy software products to them from the mangement console.
|
Note: This task is only available when you are logged on as supervisor or an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role. |
To install Authentication Services software on host(s)
|
Note: The Install Software tool bar menu is enabled when you select hosts that are profiled; the tool bar button will not be active if you have not selected any hosts. |
On the Install Software dialog, select the software products you want to install and click OK.
|
NOTES:
|
|
Note: This task requires elevated credentials. |
If you selected multiple hosts, it asks whether you want to use the same credentials for all the hosts (default) or enter different credentials for each host.
The process for upgrading the Authentication Services software packages from an older version is similar to installing it for the first time. The installer detects an older version and automatically upgrades the components.
To upgrade Authentication Services
For example, create C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Management Console for Unix\Software\4.n.n.nn
where "4.n.n.nn" is the Authentication Services version number to which you are upgrading.
|
Note: Refer to Set Authentication Services Software Path for more information about the default client directories. |
If you selected multiple hosts, it asks whether you want to use the same credentials for all the hosts (default) or enter different credentials for each host.
In order to manage access to a host using Authentication Services for Active Directory, you must join the host to an Active Directory domain. Joining a host to a domain creates a computer account in Active Directory for that host. Once you have deployed and installed the Authentication Services Agent software on a host, use the Join to Active Directory command on the All Hosts view's Join or configure menu to join the host to an Active Directory domain.
|
Note: This task is only available when you are logged on as an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role. (See Console Roles and Permissions System Settings for details.) |
To join host(s) to Active Directory
|
Note: The Join to Active Directory option is only enabled when you select hosts that have the Authentication Services Agent installed. If you select a host that is already joined to Active Directory, you can 'rejoin' the host to the same Active Directory domain. |
On the Join Host to Active Directory dialog, enter the following information to define how and where you want to join the host to Active Directory:
Use the same domain you entered when you performed the Check for AD Readiness.
Leave this field blank to generate a name based on the host's DNS name.
See Optional Join Commands for a list of commands available.
The user account you enter must have elevated privileges in Active Directory with rights to create a computer account for the host.
On the Log onto Host dialog, enter the user credentials to access the selected host(s) and click OK.
|
Note: This task requires elevated credentials. The mangement console pre-populates this information. |
The Task Progress pane on the All Hosts view displays a progress bar and the final status of the tasks, including any failures or advisories encountered.
