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

Configure LDAP authorization on the PowerFlex Gateway

Use the following task to prepare the PowerFlex Gateway and configure LDAP authorization on a PowerFlex Gateway.

Prerequisites

Ensure the following:
  • The PowerFlex Gateway host can establish a TCP connection to the LDAP server's address.
  • Each LDAP server has a separate base DN.

About this task

You can configure up to eight LDAP servers. When adding multiple LDAP servers, ensure that the list for each parameter in the reset_ldap_properties command is the same length. Items in lists should be separated by ";". When multiple LDAP servers are used, you must import each server's certificate into the gateway's truststore, as described in the previous task.

NOTE:The FOSGWTool --set_ldap_properties command that existed in previous PowerFlex versions has been deprecated, and is now supported for only a single LDAP server. You cannot use it to add multiple LDAP servers.

Steps

  1. In FOSGWTools, run the --reset_ldap_properties command to add the LDAP parameters to the PowerFlex Gateway.
    Syntax: 
    FOSGWTool.sh --reset_ldap_properties [--server_url_list <URL_LIST>] [--base_dn_list <BASE_DN_LIST>] [--group_name_list <GROUP_NAME_LIST>] [--dn_format_list <DN_FORMAT_LIST>] [--filter_list <FILTER_LIST>] [--authorizer_dn_list <AUTHORIZER_DN_LIST>] [--authorizer_password_list <AUTHORIZER_PASSWORD_LIST>] [--create_default_lockbox]
    If a previous LDAP configuration exists, an error message is returned. To confirm overwriting of the configuration, issue the command again, with the flag --i_am_sure appended to the command.
  2. Optionally view the existing LDAP configuration:
    • Linux gateway: 
      /opt/emc/scaleio/gateway/bin/FOSGWTool.sh --query_ldap_properties
    • Windows gateway: 
      C:\Program Files\EMC\ScaleIO\Gateway\bin\FOSGWTool.bat --query_ldap_properties
