Deployment Guide
• 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 certicate used by the LDAP server, you must export the SSL certicate from the LDAP server and upload it to the FluidFS
cluster.
Adding multiple LDAP servers ensures continued authentication of clients in the event of a resource outage. If the FluidFS cluster
cannot establish contact with a server, it attempts to connect to the remaining servers.
Steps
1. In the Base DN eld, type an LDAP base distinguished name to represent where in the directory to begin searching for users.
The name is usually in the format: dc=domain,dc=com.
2. In the LDAP Servers text eld, type the host name or IP address of an LDAP server and click Add. Repeat this step for any
additional LDAP servers.
3. In the LDAP Servers area, dene one or more LDAP servers.
• To dene an LDAP server, type the server host name or IP address in the eld, then click Add.
• To remove an LDAP server, select the server, then click Remove.
• To increase or decrease the order of preference for an LDAP server, select the server, then click Up or Down.
4. (Optional) Congure the remaining LDAP attributes as needed. These options are described in the online help.
• To indicate that Active Directory provides the LDAP database, select the Use LDAP on Active Directory Extended Schema
checkbox.
• To authenticate the connection from the FluidFS cluster to the LDAP server, select the Use Non-Anonymous LDAP bind
checkbox. Then, type the LDAP bind distinguished name used to authenticate the connection in the Bind DN eld and type
the LDAP bind password in the Bind Password eld.
• To encrypt the connection from the FluidFS cluster to the LDAP server using TLS, select the Use TLS over LDAP
checkbox.
• To validate the certicate used by the LDAP server, select the Install LDAP Certicate checkbox. Then, click Upload
Certicate and select the LDAP SSL certicate to upload to the FluidFS cluster.
5. Click Next.
