4. Domain join

A UCS system is normally joined into a domain. This establishes a trust relation between the different hosts, which enables users to access services provided by any host of the domain.

Joining a system into a domain requires write permission to create and modify entries in the Univention directory service (LDAP). Local root permission on the joining host is not sufficient to get write access to the domain wide LDAP service. Instead valid LDAP credentials must be entered interactively by the administrator doing the join.
