Symantec Product Authentication Service (AT) supports LDAP (Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol) user authentication through a plug-in for the
authentication broker. AT supports all common LDAP distributions such as Sun
Directory Server, Netscape, OpenLDAP, and Windows Active Directory.
For a cluster that runs in secure mode, you must enable the LDAP authentication
plug-in if the VCS users belong to an LDAP domain. To enable LDAP authentication
plug-in, you must verify the LDAP environment, add the LDAP domain in AT, and
then verify LDAP authentication. The AT component packaged with VCS requires
you to manually edit the VRTSatlocal.conf file to enable LDAP authentication.
Refer to the Symantec Product Authentication Service Administrator s Guide for
instructions.
If you have not already added VCS users during installation, you can add the users
later.
See the Veritas Cluster Server User's Guide for instructions to add VCS users.
Figure 4-2 depicts the VCS cluster communication with the LDAP servers when
clusters run in secure mode.
