Managing LDAP
In environments that use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), you can configure the FluidFS cluster to authenticate UNIX and
Linux clients using LDAP for access to NFS exports. The LDAP database can be provided by either an LDAP server or Active Directory.
The FluidFS clusters supports the following LDAP configurations:
• Anonymous LDAP – The connection from the FluidFS cluster to the LDAP servers is not authenticated. The data is sent in plain text.
• Authenticated LDAP – The connection from the FluidFS cluster to the LDAP servers is authenticated using a user name and
password. The data is sent in plain text.
• LDAP over TLS/SSL – The connection from the FluidFS cluster to the LDAP servers is authenticated and encrypted. To validate the
certificate used by the LDAP server, you must export the SSL certificate from the LDAP server and upload it to the FluidFS cluster.
