Use domain authentication
In an Active Directory (AD) environment, if Active Directory Integration type of deployment is used, you can log in to ESA Web Console clicking Use domain authentication in supported browsers. This kind of authentication works if you log on with a user who belongs to the same Active Directory domain, and also belongs to the "ESA Admins" group.
If you have a different NetBIOS name for the domain, using domain authentication might not work.
If domain authentication does not work out of the box, attempt to troubleshoot with the steps below:
Add HTTP entries to servicePrincipalName of ESASrv_<computer name> account
|
Important Applying this solution can create a servicePrincipalName conflict with another service, for example it can break the functionality of another web service hosted on the same computer. For example, Outlook Web Access. If this solution does not suit you, proceed to Workaround 1 or Workaround 2 below. |
