XenServer – ERROR: configuration failed host operation cannot be performed with external authentication enabled

After adding a new network card and trying to configure it in XenServer 6.2 it showed me the following error:

configuration failed host operation cannot be performed with external authentication enabled

To solve this problem, simply disable external authentication.

We connect via ssh to the server and execute the following command:

xe pool-disable-external-auth

all the best

:wq!

All the best.
