LDAP service configuration options
Before Unisphere or CLI can authenticate LDAP users, it must be configured to communicate with the LDAP service. Unisphere allows you to add the IP addresses and LDAP connection parameters of the LDAP servers. You will need to obtain the LDAP connection parameters from the LDAP service administrator. When configuring the LDAP service in Unisphere, note the following best practices:
- For highly available communications with the LDAP service, create service connections with two LDAP servers. If one of the servers is unavailable, the storage management server will send the authentication request to the secondary LDAP server.
- For the highest levels of security, configure the service connections to use the LDAPS protocol if your LDAP server supports it. This will ensure that all communication between the storage management server and the LDAP server is encrypted with SSL/TLS so that no user credentials are sent in plain text.
The LDAP configuration needs to be performed only once for each Unisphere domain; the configuration will be replicated to all other nodes within the domain.
