  • 1.  LDAP implementation - DS8900F

    Posted Mon July 24, 2023 01:32 PM
    Hello,
     
    I'm working with a customer that want to implement LDAP for a DS8K of Mainframe environment.
     
    Although I shared with customer some documentations (Redp 5460 for example), they would like to know some other aspects that maybe, someone that already did the implementation can help.
     
    Customer doubt's:
     
    • In case of a disaster, where the LDAP probably become unavailable, what was the strategy defined to access the Storage?
    • Does the LDAP was implemented to have local access for admin users?
    • Does the LDAP was implemented to the Service users? Or the Service's users remain with the local access only?
    Please, feel free to share your experience, probably will help to decide what to do.
     
    Thanks in advance.

    I would be very interesting in hearing the answers to these questions.  We are beginning to look at implementing LDAP at our location on the DS8K as well as TS7700.  Especially interested if they are doing this using Active Directory.

    Yes, the DS8000 can be setup for both Local users (such as a local admin) as well as Remote LDAP users.  This is recommended for the case you described where the LDAP server is not available.  Though it is also recommended to setup redundant LDAP servers.  I believe the service users still remain with local access yes.
