Managing LDAP and IBM Cloud Object Storage System connections

The administrator can create and manage connections to LDAP or IBM Cloud® Object Storage System servers that provide authentication for IBM Spectrum® Discover users.

Use the Authentication Domains tab on the Access page to create, test, manage, or delete LDAP connections.

You can create a connection that includes all users and groups that are authenticated by an LDAP server or only users or groups within a specified LDAP member range.

Note: You cannot specify a member range for users and groups that are managed by the IBM Cloud Object Storage System.

Creating a connection

To create a connection to an authentication domain, click Add Domain Connection.

For steps to create a connection to an LDAP server, see Creating an LDAP connection.

For steps to create a connection to an IBM Cloud Object Storage system server, see Creating an IBM Cloud Object Storage connection.

Editing a connection

Deleting a connection

Note: You cannot map the LDAP roles from your connection and must use an admin user to make the role assignment because the roles between Data Cataloging and your LDAP server might be different.
