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 System Console as htadmin.
2. Select Switch to Local Mode Authentication.

3. Select Yes if you want to switch to local authentication mode, or No to continue with AD.

4. Log back in to the CloudControl GUI. After switching to local authentication mode, the superadmin account to use should be superadminuser. The password should either be the default password you used when you set up the CloudControl GUI, or the updated password if you changed it. For more information, see Setting Up the CloudControl GUI in the Installation Guide for HyTrust CloudControl.
