This should help you
Log-in to ESX Host from the command line
Connect to the ESX host using an ssh client, such as putty.exe
Login as the local non-root user
Enter "su -" to change to the root user, and supply the password when prompted
Open the ESX server firewall "esxcfg-firewall -o 53,tcp,out,dns" without quotes
Reload the ESX firewall with the newly set configuration esxcfg-firewall -l
To use directory services for authentication enter the following command esxcfg-auth --enablead --addomain <DOMAIN NAME for eg in.yahoo.com> --addc <DOMAIN NAME for eg in.yahoo.com>
Now this enables Active Directory based user authentication in the domain,you need to add the users who are part of domain manually.For eg,if u have user named user1,user2 then they should be added in the Service console using the following command
To add the user1, use the Linux command "useradd". For example, to add an user named "user1", issue the following command on an ESX Server , as root "useradd user1" without quotes. Now USER1 can log on to the console locally. For every user that uses authentication to Active Directory for the service console, you must also create a corresponding user on the ESX Server system using the "useradd" command.
do the same for USER2 till USER N
