Testing Windows Credentials; Editing Windows Credentials - Extreme Networks Sentriant AG Software User's Manual

Testing Windows Credentials

To test Windows credentials:
Home window>>System configuration>>Agentless credentials
1 If you want to test these credentials, select the ES in this cluster or the MS from the Server to test
from drop-down list.
2 In the Test these credentials area, enter the IP address of the endpoint.
NOTE
When using a multi-server installation, the credentials are stored on the ES, but the test is initiated from the MS.
You will need to have a route identified between the MS and the ES in order for this test to work.
3 Click test. The operation in progress window appears. Testing the credentials might take a few
minutes to complete.
4 When the credentials testing is complete, the test status is displayed at the top of the credentials
window.
NOTE
Sentriant AG saves authentication information encrypted on the Sentriant AG server. When a user connects with the
same browser, Sentriant AG looks up this information and uses it for testing.
NOTE
When using the Windows administrator account connection method, Sentriant AG performs some user-based tests
with the administrator account's user registry settings, rather than those of the actual user logged into the endpoint.
This only affects Internet Explorer security tests, MS Office Macro Settings tests, and individual user's Windows
startup settings.
