The storage management server can
authenticate users against directory servers, such as Active Directory (Active
Directory is Microsoft's directory server), using LDAP or LDAPS. Authentication
against an LDAP server simplifies management because you do not need a separate
set of credentials for VNX storage system management. It is also more secure
because enterprise password policies can be enforced identically for the
storage environment and the server environment.
Managing an LDAP Domain (file/unified and
block)
In a VNX domain, the same LDAP server is used for
both file/unified and block setup. To manage an LDAP domain, log in to
Unisphere and use
All Sysems > Domains
> Users (task list)
> Manage LDAP
Domain to define server connections, accept or validate the related
certificates, and map user group roles. As an alternative method, you can
select a system, and then use
Settings > Security
Settings (task list)
> Manage LDAP
Domain. After this one-time setup, logins to Unisphere or CLI can
be authenticated with an LDAP account. For more information about how to set up
connection to an LDAP server, refer to the Unisphere online help.
Managing an LDAP Domain (gateway)
To manage an LDAP configuration for a VNX gateway
system, log in to Unisphere and select your system, and then use
Settings > Security
Settings (task list)
> Manage LDAP
Domain to configure the Control Station so it can access the
LDAP-based directory server. For more information about how to set up
connection to an LDAP server, refer to the Unisphere online help.
After this one-time setup, where Unisphere is
configured with connection information for the LDAP server and Unisphere roles
are mapped to LDAP groups, logins to Unisphere or CLI can be authenticated with
an LDAP account. For a VNX gateway system, LDAP configuration information is
specific to the VNX gateway system and is not replicated to any other system.
