2.8 Joining Agent Configuration Type Post Installation

If you did not join your Linux computer to Active Directory or Cloud Gateway in Gateway Only or Hybrid mode when installing the AD Bridge Linux Agent, follow these instructions on the Linux Agent at a later time:

  1. Open the Linux Terminal and locate the agent directory. For example:

    cd /opt/adb-agent.

  2. Type respective commands for given agent configuration types:

    • Active Directory: dotnet LinuxJoinAD.dll <full domain name> <AD Admin account name> [distinguished name of the computer OU]

      For example: dotnet LinuxJoinAD.dll myCompany.com administrator.

      NOTE:The Linux server is on a corporate network and you choose to join Active Directory for management with native AD tools and GPOs.

    • Cloud Gateway: dotnet CloudLinuxJoin.dll <gatekeeperServer[:port]> <traversalServer[:port]> <domainUser>

      NOTE:The Linux server is in the cloud (outside the corporate network) and does not have a computer object in Active Directory. You can manage this Linux server only from the AD Bridge 2.0 web console using Universal Policies.

    • Hybrid Mode: dotnet CloudLinuxJoin.dll <gatekeeperServer[:port]> <traversalServer[:port]> <domainUser> [-create-ad-object]

      NOTE:The Linux server is in the cloud (outside the corporate network) and will have a computer object in Active Directory linked to the AD Bridge 2.0 Secure Gateway. Choose this option to manage your cloud Linux server with native Active Directory tools and GPOs.

  3. Enter the AD account password when prompted.

    NOTE:You can also choose to join a specified OU of Active Directory.
