Creating a user
To create a user in Active Directory, refer to www.microsoft.com or Microsoft documentation. There
are no special attributes to set. You can use a fully qualified name for logging in, for example you
can log in as "user@domain.com".
Creating a group
To create a group in Active Directory, refer to www.microsoft.com or Microsoft documentation. You
will need to verify that the group has the following attributes:
• The name of the group has to match the RBAC role.
• The Group Type must be Security.
• The Group Scope must be Global.
• The primary group in the AD server should not be set to the group corresponding to the switch
role. You can choose any other group.
• If the user you created is not a member of the Users OU then the User Principal Name, in the
format of "user@domain", is required to login.
Assigning the group (role) to the user
To assign the user to a group in Active Directory, refer to www.microsoft.com or Microsoft
documentation. You will need to verify that the user has the following attributes:
• Update the memberOf field with the login permissions (root, admin, switchAdmin, user, and so
on) that the user must use to log in to the switch.
