HCP System Management Help


Consideration for using Active Directory with HCP

These considerations apply to the use of Active Directory with HCP:

For HCP to use AD for user authentication:

oHCP must be able to contact at least one DNS server that can resolve the AD domain name. Additionally, HCP must be able to do a reverse DNS lookup of the IP addresses that HCP uses to communicate with each domain controller in that domain. (That is, the DNS configuration must include PTR records for all of the AD domain controller IP addresses that HCP uses to communicate with AD.)

oThe AD time must be the within five minutes the HCP system time. The recommended configuration is for HCP and AD to use the same time server.

oAll the domains in the AD forest HCP uses for user authentication must minimally be at the 2003 functional level.

To ensure that AD users have continuous access to HCP, the AD infrastructure should have a robust and fault tolerant configuration.
