Enable a Domain for Active Directory or LDAP

By default, authentication is enabled after you join the domain. However, if you disable the domain for the service you are using, you must enable it in order to use it. This is true for both Microsoft Active Directory and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

If you make any changes on the Active Directory or LDAP server that are related to the domain configuration on the array, you might need to disable the service and re-enable it to clean up the cache.

  1. Go to Administration → Security → Directory → <your_service>.
  2. From the More Actions menu, select Enable.
  3. Select Test Connection to ensure that the array is connected to the domain.
