@uberiain said in XCP-ng Center 25.04 Released:
Hi, with this modification on MainWindow.cs in
private List<TabPage> GetNewTabPages()
adding this at the end:
This will add the tab back in XCP-ng Center but I don't think it works in XCP-ng 8.3.
I just upgraded from 8.2.1 to 8.3 when I logged into XCP-ng Center I saw the error message
Active Directory authorization is not available","Server 'xcp-ng-TEST' has failed to connect to the Active Directory server.

I haven't figured out what to do yet. None of the users can log into XCP-ng Center using their Active Directory credentials and only root can log in.
EDIT: Actually winbind wasn't even used in XCP-ng 8.2.1, I'm not sure why this service started up in 8.3.
XCP-ng 8.2.1# systemctl status winbind.service

But I can see that windbind is used for XenServer 8.4 https://docs.xenserver.com/en-us/xenserver/8/users
Anyone got suggestions on how to get AD authentication working with XCP-ng Center again? Or add users manaully?
SOLUTION:
What I found after following the steps in the in the XenServer page above is that if I disable AD Authentication then re-enable it then it will work.
To Disable AD Authentication:
xe pool-disable-external-auth
Enable AD Authentication:
xe pool-enable-external-auth auth-type=AD service-name=full-qualified-domain config:user=username config:pass=password
Without the Users tab in XCP-ng Center, CLI command is needed to add or remove users. Refer to the XenServer page above.
xe subject-add subject-name=entity_name
