Troubleshooting AssetCentre Domain Authentication Problems

Question:

Greetings everyone, I am currently working on a new network deployment of AssetCentre and I am encountering issues with authenticating using our DOMAIN\USER credentials after a fresh installation. I am able to successfully authenticate using a local account, but our Active Directory accounts do not seem to have access. When accessing the FactoryTalk Administrative Console as a local user and navigating to the File menu, I see the option to log off as DOMAIN\USER, which is the same user I am trying to authenticate as when on the network. It is worth mentioning that I authenticate to the Windows Server using a PKI card. Any assistance or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Access the FT Admin Console (Network) using a Local Account and check if Domain\User is included in the User List. It is important to note that you must manually add each Domain\User to the User list through the "Windows link User" option. This ensures that all users are properly identified and granted access within the system.
