LDAP Feature for the Remote Console Switch

173

What can I do if I cannot log

into the Remote Console

Switch using Active Directory

authentication? How do I

troubleshoot the issue?

Troubleshoot as follows:

If no domain name is specified, the

local database is used. To login when

AD authentication isn't working, use

the default local admin account.

Ensure that you have checked the

Enable Active Directory check box

(Remote Console Switch Software) or

the Use LDAP Authentication check

box (on-board web interface) on the

Remote Console Switch Active

Directory configuration page.

Ensure that the DNS setting is correct

on the Remote Console Switch

Networking configuration page.

Ensure Network Time Protocol is

enabled on at least one server specified

on the NTP panel.

Ensure that you have uploaded the

Active Directory certificate from your

Active Directory root CA to the

Remote Console Switch.

Check the Domain Controller SSL

certificates to ensure that they have not

expired.

Ensure that your “Remote Console

Switch Name”, “Root Domain Name”,

and “Remote Console Switch Domain

Name” match your Active Directory

environment configuration.

Ensure that you use the correct user

domain name during a login and not

the NetBIOS name.
