Activate UNAB

After you have registered the UNIX host in Active Directory, you need to activate UNAB. Activation is the final step in the implementation process of UNAB. Once UNAB is activated it authenticates users based on their Active Directory password.

To activate UNAB

1. Log in to the UNIX computer as a superuser.
2. Navigate to the UNAB bin directory. By default the directory is:

   /opt/CA/uxauth/bin
   

3. Run the following command:

   ./uxconsole -activate
   

   -activate

   Specifies that login is activated for Active Directory users

   UNAB is activated

Note: Activating UNAB lets local users that have an Active Directory account to continue logging into the UNIX host.

Note: For more information about the uxconsole utility, see the Reference Guide.

Example: Login to UNAB after activation

The following example shows you how you can log in to a UNIX computer using an Active Directory account after you installed UNAB in partial mode and registered it.

1. Open a terminal window.
2. Connect to the UNIX host:

   telnet computer.com
   

   You are connected to the UNIX computer and a UNIX shell opens.

3. Enter the user name and password of an Active Directory account.

   If successful, a message is displayed, informing you of your last login details.
