    1. Specify the Authentication Space Name.
    2. Select the required authentication type (such as Active Directory).
    3. Select the cluster node as the Proxy.
    4. Enter the Active Directory Domain Name.
  4. Add an ACP Association that will provide administrator level access .
    1. Specify the ACP Association Name.
    2. Select the User ACP Association type.
    3. Browse for the required User Name from the Authentication Space specified in the previous step.
    4. Add the Default Administrator from the Available Profiles listed.
  5. Log out of the UI.
  6. Log back into the UI using the new User@Domain credentials specified in the above steps.
  7. Force a fail-over, then log in again using the new credentials to confirm that the software is still accessible.
