Enabling Directory Services Authentication
Before you can grant Storage Center access to directory users and directory user groups, you must rst congure Storage Center to
communicate with one or more Active Directory/OpenLDAP servers. If you use Kerberos authentication, you must also congure Storage
Center to communicate with the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC).
• 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 conguration of the directory service.
• Storage Center requires credentials from a directory service user that is allowed to query the directory service and who has sucient
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 sucient 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 certicate is required to communicate with the directory
service using SSL/TLS.
