UCS 2.4 - Univention

2 Domain concept
• The password can be set using the -dcpwd FILE parameter. The password is then read out of the
specified file.
2.4.1.2 Joining domains with Univention Management Console
A domain can also be joined over the web via the Univention Management Console, which can be called
up under https:///univention-management-console/ on the joining computer. As
the domain-wide administrator user does not yet exist on a system which has yet to join the domain, the
log-in to Univention Management Console is done as the root user.
The button of the same name must be selected in the Domain join module of the Univention Management
Console. The username and password of a user authorised to add computers to a domain must now be
entered in the resulting dialogue.
As for the domain joining procedure via the command line, a DNS service record on the DC master is also
required for the Univention Management Console. There is no possibility here of entering the FQDN of the
DC master explicitly.
Clicking on the [Repeat domain join] button restarts the joining procedure (see Figure 2.2). The informa-
tion released in the process can be monitored via Log files.

Additional services which are yet to be initialised are shown on the Status of domain join tab. Selecting
[Repeat] allows this to be made up for each individual service. The username and password of the user
authorised to add computers to a domain must also be entered here.
2.4.1.3 Subsequent running of join scripts
The univention-run-join-scripts command is used to run all of the join scripts installed on a
system. The scripts check automatically whether they have already been initiated.
The name of the join script, the issue of the script and the exitcode are also recorded in
/var/log/univention/join.log.
If univention-run-join-scripts is run on another system role as a domain controller master or
domain controller backup, the user will be asked to input a username and password.
