Authentication Method Decision Tree:
The Storwize V7000 Unified systems require one, and only one, authentication
system to allow network users to access file systems or file sets exported (shared)
by the Storwize V7000 Unified system. The authentication system may also be
used to provide User ID mapping. Several authentication methods are supported.
They are:
v
v Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
v Network Information Service (NIS
A local LDAP server can also be used which runs on the file modules, but this is
limited. For example it does not support asynchronous filesystem replication to
another Storwize V7000 Unified system. Refer to Managing authentication and ID
mapping, located in the Information Center.
Use the flow chart below to assist in deciding which authentication method is right
for you. The factors that influence the decision are the types of client hosts, the
existing authentication infrastructure (if any), and if asynchronous file system
replication is to be utilized.
