Authentication Settings

How Authentication Works

The AD Pro Toolkit works on domain-joined and non-domain joined computers.

The AD Pro Toolkit uses Windows Single Sign-on (Kerberos or NTLM fallback) for authentication. If your computer is domain joined, and you log in with a domain account the toolkit will use those credentials to automatically connect to your domain.

You can change what account the toolkit uses by following the steps below.

Change Authentication Settings

Note: You only need to authenticate to one domain controller in your domain.

Step 1. Click on “Others” then “Domain Settins”

Step 2. Click the “Pencil” to edit the connection.

Step 3. Click the box “Specify Username” and enter your username and password. If it is a domain-joined computer, it should auto-detect your domain and domain controller. If the domain and domain controller are not detected, you will need to provide those details. The domain controller needs to be the FQDN.

Click “OK” to save the connection. The domain settings screen should update with the username and display connected.

Now when you open the toolkit it will authenticate with the credentials provided in the domain settings.
