Testing AD Authentication on UCS PE

[nkundalia]

Hi,

I would like to know the best way to test AD Authentication on UCS PE.

It seems that UCS PE 2.2(5a) does not allow you to do that, can someone tell me if version 3 does?  Or if there is a way of testing AD authentication without setting it up on a live/prod environment?

Thanks

Neil

UCS PE does not currently support AD authentication as far as I know.

The proper way to test it is going to require a live environment, but the trick is to configure it but do NOT remove the the local/native login from the authentication domains until you are sure that AD logins work.  Even then, you should probably leave the local login as an option in case of AD outages.  You can set AD as the default authentication domain though
