Centrify Suite 5.x for Linux

Use the following steps to install Centrify Suite and authenticate VirusScan Enterprise for Linux (VSEL) with Active Directory:

Create the user nails and group nails in Active Directory.
Add the user nails as a member of the group nails.
Add the group nails to the Administrators group of Active Directory.
Check the host name of the RHEL and if required, assign a fully qualified domain name to the Linux server.

IMPORTANT: The host name must not be localhost.
Synchronize the RHEL server clock with Active Directory using NTP.
Download Centrify Suite from http://www.centrify.com/products/active-directory-integration-linux-unix.asp and install it.

NOTE: Check the prerequisites and familiarize yourself with the installation process for Centrify Suite.
When Centrify Suite is installed, restart the Linux server.
Verify that your Linux server has been successfully added to the Active Directory and any user from the Active Directory who is able to log in to the server.
Log in to the Linux server system using the local superuser root account, and start installation of VSEL as explained in the installation guide.

NOTE: While installing VSEL, user nails will be prompted, but you will not be asked for the password.

When the installation is complete, log in to VSEL.

NOTE: If the password needs to be changed, reset it from Active Directory.
