Abstract
A data management system (DMS) may support authentication of a host using a non-addressable domain controller within a network. The DMS may obtain a list of domain controllers within the network and create an account at a domain controller on the list via a virtual machine instantiated within the network and used to create a tunnel between the DMS and the virtual machine The DMS may receive, via a port, a packet from a host within the network and route the packet, using a demultiplexer configured to monitor the port, to a storage entity. The storage entity may transmit, via the port to the domain controller, a request to authenticate the host, the request bypassing the demultiplexer that is configured not to monitor the port when the storage entity operates in a client mode. The DMS may receive an indication of whether the host is authenticated from the domain controller.
