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.
