authenticate --add [--login_group <DOMAIN\LOGIN GROUP>]

Description

Adds an authenticated login group in an Active Directory Services (ADS) domain in accordance with the following ADS
login group guidelines:

•

Log in as an administrator via the CLI, and use SSH, Telnet, or a local console connection as a domain\user that is

part of a login group. When you log in as an administrator via the CLI, you are prompted to use the credentials of the

user account by which you log in (for example: if you log in as a Domain\administrator, you need to respond using

these credentials).

•

Log in as an administrator via the GUI, and use a web interface connection as a domain\user that is part of a login

group (when this has been enabled via the CLI).

•

If no login group is specified, or the group is disabled, no access using domain accounts is permitted.

•

Adding a login group can only be enabled via the CLI.

•

Adding a login group is only possible when the DR Series system is already joined to a domain.

•

If the login group name has a space in it, it must be contained within double-quotation marks (“ “).

•

When adding a login group, it must use the naming convention of Domain\group name.

•

The login group must exist in the domain before you can add it (a check is performed to verify that the group exists in

ADS).

•

Changes made to the login group take effect on the next log in attempt (no active checking is done on group, which

matches how Windows ADS works).

NOTE: To delete an existing login group, see

authenticate --delete [--login_group <DOMAIN\LOGIN GROUP>]

.
