232 IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide
needs access to the management GUI, a password is needed for the user. If the user requires
access to the command-line interface (CLI) through SSH, either a password or a valid SSH
key file is necessary. Local users must be part of a user group that is defined on the system.
User groups define roles that authorize the users within that group to a specific set of
operations on the system.
A remote user is authenticated on a remote service with Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) as configured in the Chassis Management Module or Flex System Manager
settings. Remote users have their groups or Supervisor role defined by the remote
authentication service.
A remote user who needs access to the command line using SSH keys must be configured
on the Flex System V7000. Other remote users do not need to be configured on the V7000,
they only need to be defined on the LDAP server.
To manage users and user groups on the system using the management GUI, select User
Management  Users.
The settings for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol are automatically configured by the
Chassis Management Module. To test the connection select Settings  Directory Services.
