Configuring an authentication tunnel

If you have already configured a CIFS server for a data SVM , you can use the security login domain-tunnel create command to configure the SVM as a gateway, or tunnel , for AD access to the cluster.

Before you begin

  • You must have configured a CIFS server for a data SVM .

  • You must have enabled an AD domain user account to access the admin SVM for the cluster.

  • You must be a cluster administrator to perform this task.

Configure a CIFS-enabled data SVM as an authentication tunnel for AD domain controller access to the cluster: security login domain-tunnel create -vserver SVM_name

For complete command syntax, see the worksheet Configuring Active Directory domain controller access.

Note
The SVM must be running for the user to be authenticated.

Example

The following command configures the CIFS-enabled data SVM engData as an authentication tunnel.

cluster1::>security login domain-tunnel create -vserver engData
