Domain Server

IPBrick as a Intranet server manages all the network resources belonging to a certain domain and provides important network support services as DNS and DHCP. A relevant feature to consider in the domain server ^3.1 is that it works with the authentication server, where all the users have a username/password match defined in the LDAP database of IPBrick. PDC is checked whenever there is a authentication demand in a workstation.

In this section you define the name of the domain served by IPBrick as well as the IPBrick function:

• Authentication in the domain=YES: IPBrick will be a Primary Domain Controller in the chosen domain;
• Authentication in the domain=NO: IPBrick will not operate as a domain server.
