Managing security
The Copy Services Manager authentication process uses a configured user registry from either: the basic user registry (on distributed systems); an operating system repository, such as RACF (on the z/OS platform); or a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) registry.
About this task
To perform certain actions and manage specific sessions in the Copy Services Manager GUI or CLI, the user must also have the appropriate authorization. Authorization is granted by assigning a specific role to the user account or user group.
Starting with Copy Services Manager Version 6.1.1, DS8000 storage systems can now use a Copy Services Manager server to enable LDAP authentication on the storage system. For specific instructions on how to configure LDAP support through Copy Services Manager on a DS8000 system, see your DS8000 product documentation.
