Configurations and Environment Preparation
Authentication Configuration of Linux SHD/DVM Servers
Once all the required packages are installed, the next step is configuring Linux VDI for authentication. Three types of authentications are supported:
- Microsoft Active Directory
- LDAP
- Workgroup.
Join AD Domain
Active directory domain can be joined using:
- Accops Custom GUI Script (Recommended Process)
- Using DomainJoin - CLI (Command Lines)
Important
Ensure that the assistive packages must be installed for the AD environment. If not, the environment switch scripts should be used which are placed at /etc/accops/dvm/scripts to set the machine for the AD environment.
Please follow instructions provided in the section Domain Join feature configuration document of Ubuntu Linux
Configure to Authenticate with LDAP
Important
Ensure that the assistive packages must be installed for the LDAP environment. If not, the environment switch scripts should be used which are placed at /etc/accops/dvm/scripts to set the machine for the LDAP environment.
-
Recommended method: Please follow instructions provided in the section Domain Join feature configuration document of Ubuntu Linux.
-
Alternate method: Configure Linux Desktops to authenticate with LDAP
Deployment in Workgroup Environment
Install dependency packages for workgroups or use switch scripts later to configure machines for specific environments.
RHEL Subscription Configurations
Accops HyWorks does not update the subscription details of RHEL machines being prepared by installing packages or using dynamic provisioning; thus, all such VMs prepared must update the subscription details.
Follow the steps below to update the subscription details. Open the terminal and use the below commands:
sudo subscription-manager clean
sudo subscription-manager register --username
--password sudo subscription-manager attach --auto
sudo yum update
