Adding an LDAP User to the Appliance

After you have completed LDAP configuration, you can configure existing LDAP users to be able to log in to Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance using their LDAP username and password.

Note:

The existing LDAP user ID cannot be less than 100, cannot be greater than 2147483646, and cannot be equal to 60001, 60002, or 65534. Those UIDs are reserved by the operating system vendor for use in future applications. Their use by end system users or vendors of layered products is not supported and can cause security issues with other applications.

In the BUI, follow procedure Adding an Administrator or User (BUI), using the following property values:

  1. Select Directory from the Type drop-down menu.

  2. For Username, specify the user's existing LDAP username.

In the CLI, follow procedure Adding an Administrator or User (CLI), using the directory user type and the user's existing LDAP username. 

hostname:configuration users> directory LDAPusername

User ID (uid) and Password (initial_password) are set automatically: LDAP values are used, or if NIS is configured, the NIS values are used.

Note:

If both NIS and LDAP are configured on the appliance and the services return different information for a particular user, the appliance uses the data provided by NIS.
