Storageflex 3945N manual Manage Users and Groups with ApplianceView Local Mode

Administrator Guide

If you are using external LDAP server, you should create Samba schema for it first. In case you’re using the Appliance itself to act as LDAP server, this schema will be created automatically after you enable LDAP server function of the Appliance (please see “Configuring LDAP server” below).

Schema files for various LDAP servers may be found here:

http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/samba_3_0/examples/LDAP/

However, the only approved (in given case) LDAP server is OpenLDAP

( http://www.openldap.org/ ). Samba schema for OpenLDAP can be found in Samba distribution ( http://samba.org/ ) or here:

http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/samba_3_0/examples/LDAP/samba.schema

Initial tree should be created on LDAP server as follows:

dn: o=organization

objectClass: organization

o: organization

dn: ou=users,o=organization

objectClass: organizationalUnit

ou: users

dn: ou=groups,o=organization

objectClass: organizationalUnit

ou: groups

dn: ou=idmap,o=organization

objectClass: organizationalUnit

ou: idmap

Superuser account should be created as follows:

cn=ldapadmin,o=organization

Manage Users and Groups with ApplianceView (Local Mode)

If the Appliance maintains User and Group information, users and groups must be added, modified, and deleted through ApplianceView.
