2-102 Sun StorEdge 5310 NAS Troubleshooting Guide • December 2004
ADS relies on the Internet Domain Name System (DNS) to provide name resolution
services. The DNS provided with ADS supports the ability for clients to dynamically
update their entries in the DNS database; this is known as dynamic DNS.
To configure ADS, proceed as follows:
1. Access the StorEdge via Telnet or serial console.
2. Press [Enter] at the [menu] prompt and enter the administrator password.
3. Press the spacebar until “ADS setup” is displayed under “Extensions” at the
lower right.
4. Select the letter corresponding to ADS setup.
Therein, you will see a list of options for both Active Directory Setup, as follows:
■ Enable—Enable ADS
■ ADS Domain—The name of the Windows Domain
■ User—An Windows user account name with rights to update ADS
■ Password—Password for this account
■ User Container—The ADS container that is the location of the above user account.
■ (LDAP distinguished name, without domain, e.g. ou=users)
■ ADS Site—Enter the local ADS site, if different from ADS domain. Usually left
blank.
■ Kerberos Realm—Name of Kerberos realm for secure ADS and DNS, usually the
ADS domain name.
■ KDC Server—Hostname for Key Distribution Server, usually a domain controller.
(This field can usually be left blank, as it can normally be resolved by DNS)
The ADS configuration must be in place before configuring Dynamic DNS.
To configure Dynamic DNS, proceed as follows:
1. Return to the main menu by pressing the [Esc] key.
2. Select option “H”, “DNS & Syslogd”.
3. Select option “1”, “Edit Fields”.
4. Use [Enter] or [Tab] to navigate through the fields.
5. Ensure that standard DNS is set up, with a domain name and server(s) configured.
6. Select option “Y”, “Yes” to enable Dynamic DNS.
7. Enter a username and password with sufficient rights to perform secure DNS
updates.
8. After configuring desired options, select option “7”, “Save Changes”.
