Managing LDAP
In environments that use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), you can congure 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 congurations:
• 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 certicate used by the LDAP server, you must export the SSL certicate from the LDAP server and upload it to the FluidFS
cluster.
