DCV Authentication with Active Directory Credentials

Question

I'm running NICE DCV on Rocky Linux 9.3. It works as expected with local users. I would like to authenticate with Active Directory Users. I have joined the linux instance to my AD and can login successfully with the AD user account. I would like to authenticate with the AD credentials on the NICE DCV Client as well.

I've looked at this documentation but it's unclear to me how to get this to work properly with AD Credentials.
I'm not using DCV Connection Gateway. I'm connecting directly to the AWS instance through it's public IP Address.
As I stated it all works as expected with local accounts. Would like to get it to work with AD Accounts.

Answer

You will need to create DCV sessions with the owner in the form `domain\username`.

If this is a console session, enable [automatic console session](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dcv/latest/adminguide/managing-sessions-start.html#managing-sessions-start-auto) and set dcv.conf owner to the desired `domain\username` value.

use `dcv list-sessions` to verify that sessions are created successful

Answer

Thanks for the response.  No luck though.  Getting this error in the logs.  I removed the username for security reasons.

I tried both and neither work.
DOMAIN\username
username@domain.com
