Configure LDAP authentication for LIA on the
PowerFlex Gateway
If Linux LDAP servers are used for authenticating LIA, add the Linux LDAP server parameters to the
gatewayUser.properties file before switching the LIA authentication mode from native to LDAP in an existing
PowerFlex system. If a Windows LDAP server is used, skip this task.
Steps
Log in to the
PowerFlex Gateway server and open the
gatewayUser.properties file, located at
/opt/emc/scaleio/gateway/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes, for editing.
Under
# properties for add lia ldap server, add the following properties, based on your LDAP server settings.
# properties for add lia ldap server
lia.ldap.replaceExisting=
lia.ldap.usernameDnFormat=
lia.ldap.authorizerDn=
lia.ldap.searchFilterFormat=
The value for
lia.ldap.replaceExisting= should be left blank, unless an existing LDAP server configuration on the
PowerFlex Gateway is being overwritten.
Use the values configured in your organization's LDAP servers for the following parameters:
The value for the
lia.ldap.authorizerDn= should be left blank.
For example:
# properties for add lia ldap server
lia.ldap.replaceExisting=
lia.ldap.usernameDnFormat=CN=[USER],OU=People,DC=ldap,DC=com
lia.ldap.authorizerDn=
lia.ldap.searchFilterFormat=(&(objectClass=userSecurityInformation)(cn=[USER])(memberOf=[GROUP]))
Restart the
PowerFlex Gateway service:
On a Linux server run:
/etc/init.d/scaleio-gateway restart
On a Windows server: From the Windows
Services window, restart the
EMC ScaleIO Gateway.
Next steps
Continue to the next task to change the authentication method using the
PowerFlex Installer.
