Adding active directory in VMware Telco Cloud Automation.

VMware Telco Cloud Automation now supports authentication through vCenter and Active Directory. You can configure Active Directory for a new deployment or you can upgrade the already deployed VMware Telco Cloud Automation to the latest version and configure the Active Directory settings in the upgraded VMware Telco Cloud Automation.
You can log in to the VMware Telco Cloud Automation Appliance Manager and configure the Active Directory settings to integrate VMware Telco Cloud Automation with your Active Directory server.
Note: Ensure that the logon user name is less than or equal to 20 characters. If the logon user name is more than 20 characters, the login works but the group retrieval of the user fails, causing the login to VMware Telco Cloud Automation to fail.
