BeyondTrust AD Bridge centralizes authentication for Unix and Linux environments by extending Active Directory’s Kerberos authentication and single sign-on capabilities to these platforms. By extending Group Policy to non-Windows platforms, BeyondTrust provides centralized configuration management, reducing the risk and complexity of managing a heterogeneous environment.

Giving AD Bridge a try

After following the steps to install under the applicable package manager use the domainjoin-cli command to join to the domain.

Trying Directory Integrated mode

In order to try AD Bridge without first setting up a cell we need to provide an option to assume the cell exists.

#/opt/pbis/bin/domainjoin-cli join --assumeDefaultCell force While this would give you an experience like the full enterprise software, it is not optimized for a wider Active Directory forest.

Coming from pbis-open

If you are coming from pbis-open and are familiar with unprovisioned mode, it can also be used with AD Bridge.
#/opt/pbis/bin/domainjoin-cli join --unprovisioned force While this does allow you to login with your Active Directory credentials, it will limit your management options from within Active Directory.

What else can I do?

Inside the bin folder you will find tools to explore like:

• adtool
• config
• enum-users/enum-groups
• pbis-status
• update-dns
