5. Select the type of network into which you are making the NSS a member from the following
options:
• Workgroup: Make the NSS part of a peer-to-peer network.
• NTv4 Domain: Make the NSS a part of a pre-Windows 2000 domain. If you select this
option, set up the following fields:
- NTv4 Domain: Enter the domain name.
- Domain Controller: Enter the hostname or IP address of the domain controller.
- Username: Enter the username of an account that has administrator privileges for this
domain. Note: The username cannot contain the “%” character.
- Password: Enter the password for the administrator account. This password is cleared each
time you click Update. You must re-enter the password each time you edit the fields on this
page to ensure the rejoin of the domain is successful.
• Member of Active Directory domain: Make the NSS part of an Active Directory (ADS)
domain. If you select this option, set up the following fields:
- Active Directory Domain: Enter the domain name. Note that you might have to use the DNS
fully qualified domain name. For example, “domain.com” versus just “domain.”
- Domain Controller: Enter the hostname or IP address of the domain controller.
- Kerberos Realm: Enter the name of your Kerberos realm. If you are not sure what to enter
here, enter the domain name. In most standard Windows domain installations, this is the
correct value. Note that you might have to use the fully qualified domain name for the
Kerberos Realm fields. For example, “domain.com” versus just “domain.”
- Username: Enter the username of an account that has administrator privileges for this
domain. Note: The username cannot contain the “%” character.
- Password: Enter the password for the administrator account. This password is cleared each
time you click Update. You must re-enter the domain password each time you edit fields on
this page to ensure the rejoin of the domain is successful.
6. Click Update.
If you configured the NSS to join a domain, when you click Update, the domain join occurs. The
NSS configuration interface displays the status of the domain join (that is, successful or not
successful).Note: If you are joined to a domain and make changes to the fields on this page,
make sure you re-enter the domain password as the NSS automatically rejoins the domain when
you click Update.
