I can't seem to find any documentation on what a "realm" is, or specifying Microsoft AD in the GUI.

What I'm doing seems like it'd be pretty simple.

Datacenter > Permissions > Authentication > Add

I'm trying to configure it to check users against a Domain Controller in an Active Directory. On the GUI, there's a "realm" field. In the documentation, I see this:

As Proxmox VE users are just counterparts for users existing on some external realm, the realms have to be configured in /etc/pve/domains.cfg. The following realms (authentication methods) are available:

Linux PAM standard authentication
Proxmox VE authentication server
LDAP
Microsoft Active Directory
Click to expand...

/etc/pve/domains.cfg doesn't exist (presumably because I haven't configured anything for them yet), and the documentation doesn't say what to put in the "realms" field in the GUI for each of those authentication methods.

Am I missing something?

That's where I quoted the information from.

What I need is how I define any of those realms within the GUI.

What do I put in "Realm" to specify "Microsoft Active Directory"?

As far as I know, Realms is the way to authenticate. I had assumed selecting Active Directory would do this automatically, but there's a Realm field to fill out and it is required while
/etc/pve/domains.cfg

doesn't exist.
