-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.6
> AD Join in a multi site domain
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: VCL-1118
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-1118
> Project: VCL
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: vcld (backend)
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: Junaid Ali
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.6
>
> Attachments: ad-multi-site.patch
>
>
> The current AD domain join process does a server less bind to delete the
> computer object first and then immediately adds the computer object to AD.
> For a multi site environment if the computer object deletion occurs on a
> different domain controller than the domain controller where the computer
> object addition takes place this can be problematic. After the inter site
> replication completes in some cases the net effect will be computer object
> deletion, which means that the VM will not have domain membership and so fail
> user authentication and lose access to AD resources.
> This patch provides the following updates to the active directory join process
> - discover the VM's active directory site based on its public IP address. if
> sites are not defined within active directory, use the default site that is
> auto created by Active Directory (Default-First-Site-Name)
> - delete the VM from a domain controller within its site. wait 20 seconds for
> the intra site replication to complete
> - join the VM to the same active directory domain controller that it was
> deleted from in the previous step or to a domain controller within the VM's
> active directory site.
> added utility functions for converting dot decimal format ip information to
> cidr (classless inter-domain routing) format. This is needed for VM active
> directory site calculation, as the active directory sites are stored in cidr
> format. currently, this supports IPV4 addresses only.
