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.
