Managing LDAP
In environments that use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), you can configure the FluidFS
cluster to authenticate UNIX/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 support the following LDAP configurations:
• Anonymous LDAP: The connection from the FluidFS cluster to the LDAP server(s) is not
authenticated. The data is sent in plain text.
• Authenticated LDAP: The connection from the FluidFS cluster to the LDAP server(s) 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 server(s) is authenticated
and encrypted. To validate the certificate used by the LDAP service, you must export the SSL
certificate from the LDAP service and upload it to the FluidFS cluster.
