Active Directory
Active Directory is a technology that provides a variety of network services including LDAP-like directory
services, Kerberos-based authentication, and DNS-based naming. The CIMC utilizes the Kerberos-based
authentication service of Active Directory.
When Active Directory is enabled in the CIMC, all user authentication and role authorization is performed
by Active Directory, and the CIMC ignores the local database. If the CIMC cannot connect to Active Directory,
it reverts to the local database.
you can require the server to encrypt data sent to Active Directory.
