Add a Domain Bind Account

Add a primary domain bind account to set up the untrusted relationship between the Connection Server domain and a different domain.

Prerequisites

• Verify that you have prepared Active Directory for the Connection Server's domain. See "Preparing Active Directory" in the Horizon 8 Installation and Upgrade document.
• Gather the untrusted domain bind account properties. See, Domain Bind Account Properties.
• Verify that the Connection Server domain is not in any formal trust relationship with the target user domain. You can view the domain information for the Connection Server domain by navigating to Settings > Domain and clicking the Connection Server tab.
• Verify that your DNS infrastructure can resolve untrusted domain FQDN from each Connection Server successfully.
• Verify that the Connection Server machine and the untrusted domain’s domain controller are synchronized in time.
