You can use a GUI wizard to configure LDAP authentication in your Copy Services Manager
environment.
About this task
Perform the following steps to configure LDAP authentication support by using the GUI
wizard:
Procedure
-
Log in to the Copy Services Manager GUI as a user with
administrator privileges.
-
Click .
Note: On the Administration page, you see a status indicator for the
LDAP server. Before LDAP is configured the first time, the status is shown as
Not configured with a link to Modify.
-
Click Modify. The LDAP Configuration wizard is
displayed.
Note: After you configure LDAP for the first time, a link to
Remove the LDAP
configuration becomes available. For instructions on removing the LDAP server configuration, see
Removing LDAP by using the GUI wizard. After the initial configuration, the LDAP
server status indicator also changes from "Not configured" to the name of the LDAP server.
If
you already have a manually configured custom LDAP repository in your environment, the
Modify link opens to the Advanced LDAP configuration
tab where you can make direct edits. The Basic tab is disabled if you are
modifying a custom configuration.
-
Select
either the Basic or Advanced tab. If you complete the
information on the Basic tab, Copy Services Manager automatically configures your LDAP registry based on
those inputs. However, if you want to edit the ldapRegistry.xml file directly,
for a more custom configuration with the LDAP method, you can select the
Advanced tab. The ldapRegistry.xml file contains
information about how Copy Services Manager connects to an LDAP
server.
