PowerFlex supports LDAP authentication for three different purposes: LIA user authorization, MDM user authorization, and
PowerFlex Gateway user authorization. Before configuring LDAP authentication for any of these purposes, perform the tasks in this section to prepare the
PowerFlex servers or nodes that will use LDAP.
The following table explains the three LDAP cases and the stage in the
PowerFlex deployment process at which you should prepare the server or nodes.
Table 1. LDAP use casesThis table describes the different ways in which LDAP can be used in
PowerFlex and required configuration scenario for each.
