LDAP and role-based access control
Role-based access control (RBAC) is a general security model that simplifies administration by assigning roles to users and then assigning permissions to those roles. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a protocol to implement an RBAC methodology.
Note: The following
topic has been added to the TS7700 Service Information Center for
reference only. LDAP setup and administration is a customer task.
Contact the customer to obtain an LDAP user ID and password.
The TS7700 supports RBAC through the System Storage® Productivity Center or by native LDAP by
using Microsoft Active Directory (MSAD) or IBM's Resource
Access Control Facility (RACF).
