CIFS authentication on FAS2050 and LDAP authoriztion doubt process
I'm newbie in OnTAPdata ( FAS 2050 ) environment , now I have confuse
about configuration and authentication method that use in this. So my requirement is Windows client access to CIFS on filer ( FAS2050 ) and filer query OpenLDAP for authorization information. Can i do this without ActiveDirectory ? , i seen some document ( "integration of a NetApp Storage System with a Unix Based LDAP server" ) does not require any AD. but in many of documents guide they said If i want to use CIFS disk context i'm need AD to complete this , anyone who can suggest this ? thank you ( sorry for my bad english ) |

So whatever mechanism you use to validate/authenticate Windows users is needed for Ontap as well. Ontap can utilize the following authentication mechanisms in conjunction; NIS, files, LDAP, and AD. So determine what you use for Windows users and setup the same authentication on the filer. Does that help? ~F |

So determine what you use for Windows users and setup the same authentication on the filer. Does that help? ~F exactly , we implement new system with OpenLDAP for keeping user disk- profile as userLoginId,Password,GroupidNumber, etc. and place Ontap in middle as below [ client ] ------ FAS2050 --- [ OpenLDAP ] auth (req disk ) --- FAS2050 -- (verify and authorization) In otherhand we need to config filer as CIFS to support Windows client ( it's possible ? ) , I saw in configuration wizard that say about support authentication type such as WorkGroup , NTLM (Domain system ? ) . So but as i read document above they do not require AD for complete this action ( it's true? ) , so just edit 'nsswitch' file to support this operation config that enough , that make me confuse about authentication method in filer Also, an engineer who setting new filer they say Ontap support only 'Plain text password and Crypt password type ' to communicate with it's true ? So , now i have new solution config SAMBA PDC + OpenLDAP to solving , It's possible if i don't want SAMBA PDC to support CIFS authen ? thank you for your advance :-) |
