Configuring The Active Directory Service

  1. Select Cluster Management > Authentication > System Identity. The System Identity page is displayed. This page shows the current configuration and whether the NAS cluster solution is already joined to an Active Directory domain.
  2. In System name, enter the system name. This name identifies the Dell Fluid File System in alerts that the system sends and is also the default name for the Dell Fluid File System when you configure Active Directory.
  3. Select The system is a member of a Microsoft Windows Network if you want Dell Fluid File System to join an Active Directory domain and proceed to the next step. Otherwise, leave this field unselected and click Save Changes.
  4. In System NetBIOS name, enter the Dell Fluid File System NetBIOS name that is displayed in the network neighborhood. This name is limited to 15 characters. Use the system name unless otherwise instructed.
  5. In Domain, enter the domain to which Dell Fluid File System belongs. Use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), not the NetBIOS domain name. For example: mydomain.company.com
  6. In User name, enter the administrator user name to be used to join the Active Directory domain.
    • NOTE: This user name is not saved in Dell Fluid File System.
  7. In Password, enter the administrator password.
    • NOTE: This password is not saved in Dell Fluid File System.
    • CAUTION: Advanced Configuration must be deselected, unless otherwise instructed by Dell support. This field allows configuring more Active Directory related parameters.

    Using the Advanced Configuration option, you can specify a domain controller to override the default controller selected by the system.

  8. Click Save Changes.
