Switch from AD to Local Authentication Mode

You can run this command if you have enabled Active Directory authentication and need to switch back to the local authentication mode.

Important: If you enable local authentication, you will lose any group mappings that you have set up for AD. If you switch back to AD in the future, you will need to recreate your group mappings.

You might need to switch if there are configuration issues with your AD configuration in the CloudControl GUI. You can switch to local Authentication mode, fix the issues, and then re-enable AD using the GUI.

  1. Log in to the CloudControl TUI as htadmin.
  2. Select 7. Switch to Local Authentication Mode.
  3. At the Are you sure you want to continue? prompt, type y.
