Authentication Providers in ObjectScale Software Bundle

You can add authentication providers in ObjectScale Software Bundle if you want users to be authenticated by systems external to ObjectScale.

An authentication provider is a system that is external to ObjectScale in the ObjectScale Software Bundle that can authenticate users on behalf of ObjectScale. ObjectScale stores the information that allows it to connect to the authentication provider so that ObjectScale can request authentication of a user.

In ObjectScale, the following types of authentication provider are available:

  • Active Directory (AD) authentication
  • Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication
NOTE:ObjectScale for Red Hat OpenShift cannot add AD/LDAP authentication providers for external authentication of users.

Authentication providers can be created from the ObjectScale Portal or by using the ObjectScale Management REST API. You can use the following procedures to create AD/LDAP authentication providers.
