To configure an Active Directory domain
If your network has an Active Directory (AD) domain, you can add the AltaVault to the domain and enable domain
users to access AltaVault SMB shares. You can add the AltaVault only to one domain. Ensure that you have
permissions to join appliances to the domain.
1. The SMB page does not appear until the Storage Optimization Service is started. If needed, choose Maintenance
> Service and click Start to initialize the service.
2. Optionally, you can specify up to three preferred domain controllers. Under Preferred Domain Controllers, enter
a fully qualified domain name or IPv4 address for each controller. AltaVault accesses preferred controllers in order,
starting with Domain Controller 1.
If no controllers are specified, AltaVault uses DNS to discover domain controllers.
3. Click Apply.
4. To join the AltaVault to an AD domain, go to the Domain section and specify:.
5. Click Show Advanced Settings to display Advanced Settings to (optionally) configure the domain. Complete the
configuration as described in this table.
6. After you join a domain, the Domain section of the SMB page changes to reflect the domain that the AltaVault has
joined.
When you leave a domain, specify:.
Reboot all client machines that were used to connect to the AltaVault to delete cached domain credentials.
