Dell PowerFlex v3.6.x User Roles and LDAP Usage Technical Notes

PDF

Changing LIA authentication to LDAP

Use the following procedure to change the Lightweight Installation Agent (LIA) authentication method from native to LDAP in a PowerFlex system that was already deployed. LIA is installed on every node during PowerFlex deployment. LIA is used to upgrade the components on the host on which is it installed and is required for many maintenance operations.

LIA supports both native and LDAP authentication for authorization to upgrade a component. If native authentication was specified for LIA during initial PowerFlex Gateway installation, you can switch LIA authentication to LDAP after PowerFlex deployment.

NOTE:After switching LIA authentication to LDAP, assistance from Customer Support is required to change it back to native authentication.
