Console authentication using Windows session credentials
You can log in to the BigFix console
using your Windows Active Directory user credentials if the following
conditions are met:
- You integrated BigFix with the Active Directory domain as explained in Adding Active Directory.
- The system where the BigFix console is installed belongs to the Active Directory domain.
- Your user ID is defined as:
- BigFix operator with the necessary authorizations to use the console.
- Active Directory domain user on the system where the console is installed.
Note: If you want to enable SSL, specify the Generic LDAP option
and, if your environment contains child domains, the port number 3268
which points to the Global catalog.
If these
conditions are satisfied, when you access the console, the login window
is automatically populated with your domain credentials and you can
click Login to enter the console.Note: This authentication method is valid only for BigFix servers
running on Windows operating systems.
