Users can log into EGO using the same <domain>\<username> and password they use to log into a Windows machine in your organization. The EGO cluster administrator can log into EGO by using the username 'Admin' and the password of the mapping account specified in adauth.conf.
For enhanced security, you can access the Platform Management Console using https. Refer to Configure a secure Platform Management Console (https) for details.
Operating Systems of all management hosts must use the same authentication mechanism.
Before changing the security plug-in from non-AD plug-in to AD plug-in, roles for all users, with the exception of the built-in Admin user, should be unassigned in order to remove these users from the cluster. Although there is no impact to the cluster if roles remain assigned to these users, they will no longer be able to log on to the cluster.
The AD Plug-in does not support the Symphony GUI/CLI ability to add/delete/modify users.
