Description

 

This article explains how to solve an issue that occurs when the service fails to start while configuring Local Winbind in the Administration UI under System > Settings > Authentication > Local RADIUS Server.

Scope

FortiNAC 8.8.

Solution
 
Join the domain prior to enabling the Winbind service:
 
1) Configure the following:
- Local NetBIOS Name
- Domain NetBIOS Name
- Kerberos Realm Name
- Domain Controller Hostname
 

2) Select Save Settings.
3) Select Join Domain.

4) Select Enable Service.
 
Note: Since domain joining runs on Kerberos and Kerberos is time-sensitive, ensure the FortiNAC appliance is in sync with DC time: configure the FortiNAC to use the same NTP server as DC.


For more details on the fields in this view, see Configure Local RADIUS Server settings in the Administration Guide.
