User Account Management and Authentication

Storage Center access is granted using either of the following methods:

• Local users and user groups: User accounts can be created and maintained on the Storage Center.
• External directory service: In environments that use Active Directory or OpenLDAP, Storage Center can authenticate directory users. Access can be granted to individual directory users and directory user groups. These users access the Storage Center using their domain credentials.
