Use your Active Directory or IPA domain credentials to log into
GNOME.
Use enterprise credentials to log into GNOME
If your network has an Active Directory or IPA domain available, and you
have a domain account, you can use your domain credentials to log into GNOME.
If the machine has been successfully configured for
domain accounts, users can log into GNOME using their accounts. At the
login prompt, type the domain user name followed
by an @ sign, and then your domain name. For example, if
your domain name is example.com and the user name
is User, type:
User@example.com
In cases where the machine is already configured for domain accounts, you
should see a helpful hint describing the login format.
Use enterprise credentials during Welcome screens
If you have not yet configured the machine for enterprise
credentials, you can do so at the Welcome screens that
are part of the GNOME Initial Setup program.
Configure enterprise credentials
-
At the Login welcome screen, choose
Set Up Enterprise Login.
-
Type the name of your domain in the Domain field
if it is not already prefilled.
-
Type your domain account user and password in the relevant fields.
-
Click Next.
Depending on how the domain is configured, a prompt may show up asking for
the domain administrator’s name and password in order to proceed.
Change to use enterprise credentials to log into GNOME
If you have already completed initial setup, and wish to start a domain
account to log into GNOME, then you can accomplish this from the Users
panel in the GNOME Settings.

overview and start typing Users.
-
Click on Users to open the panel.

and click Add.
Depending on how your domain is configured, a prompt may show up asking for
the domain administrator’s name and password in order to proceed.
