By default, the Admin user on the Veritas Resiliency Platform virtual appliance can log in to the Resiliency Platform web console with access to all views and operations. The Admin user can configure authentication domains for Resiliency Platform from external identity providers so that other users can be authenticated for access to the console.

To configure authentication domains

Prerequisites
The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address and credentials for the LDAP/AD servers in the authentication domain
-

Select a data center and under Specify server information for each data center, enter the information for the server at that data center.
Repeat this step for other data centers in the authentication domain. When you select a different data center, the server information fields are cleared so that you can enter information for a different server, but the entries for the previous data center are remembered.
If the same server is used for more than one data center, enter the same server information for each data center.
The remaining fields on the page apply to all data centers; fill these in as required.
See Options for authentication domain configuration
Once you have entered information for all data centers, click Next.
-
Verify and complete the configuration:
In the Domain Name field, enter a friendly name for the authentication domain. If you configure the login screen to list domains, this name is listed.
Verify that the applicable data centers are listed. To make any changes, click Back to return to the previous screen. Once all is complete, click Submit.
-
Verify that the new domain is listed under Domains.
You can now configure user groups and users from that domain and assign permissions.
To edit authentication domains
-
Navigate to the domain list as described in the procedure to configure authentication domains.
-
Select the authentication domain you want to edit and select the Edit option.
Note the following guidelines when editing:
-
To add server information for a new data center, select the applicable data center and fill in the server information.
-
To edit existing server information, select the applicable data center.
-
To edit other information, you do not need to select each data center; the same information applies to all.

To remove a data center from the authentication domain, use the Unconfigure option instead of the Edit option.
