Enabling Directory Services Authentication

Before you can grant Storage Center access to directory users and directory user groups, you must first configure Storage Center to communicate with one or more Active Directory/OpenLDAP servers. If you use Kerberos authentication, you must also configure Storage Center to communicate with the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC).

Prerequisites

  • An Active Directory or OpenLDAP directory service must be deployed in your environment.
  • Storage Center must have network connectivity to the directory service.
  • You must be familiar with the Active Directory/OpenLDAP configuration of the directory service.
  • Storage Center requires credentials from a directory service user that is allowed to query the directory service and who has sufficient privileges to perform a bind operation.
  • (Active Directory only) Joining the controller to the domain requires credentials from a directory service user who is an administrator and who has sufficient privileges to create a computer record in the directory.
  • (Active Directory only) To join the controller to the domain, forward and reverse DNS records for the Storage Center must be created in the domain. For a single-controller Storage Center system, create DNS records for the controller IP address. For a dual-controller Storage Center system, create DNS records for the management IP address.
  • (OpenLDAP only) To use password authentication with OpenLDAP, an SSL certificate is required to communicate with the directory service using SSL/TLS.
