Authentication Domain tab

The Authentication Domain tab is used to define the following:

  • Which authentication servers support which authentication mechanisms

  • What each domain supports.

Add the domain that you want users to authenticate against.

The following examples contain six authentication domains.

Note:

When a UNIX authentication domain is used, enter the fully qualified domain name of the host that performed the authentication.

Note:

The authentication types that are supported are NIS, NISPLUS, WINDOWS, vx, and unixpwd (unixpwd is default).
