Defining a domain

The Domain Entry page defines a Windows domain that is used for Windows domain authentication of users in a UNIX repository. Defining a domain, requires the primary controller name of the domain and any backup controllers names. Under Windows NT 4.0 and earlier, the primary domain controller is the computer that authenticates domain logins and maintains the directory database for a domain. A backup domain controller is a computer that receives a copy of the domain’s directory database.

To define a domain:

  1. Type a domain name.

    The domain name is a required field.

  2. Type the primary controller name.

    The primary controller name is a required field.

  3. Type the backup controller domain name.

    The backup controller domain name is an optional field.

  4. Click OK.
