About enabling LDAP authentication for clusters that run in secure mode

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.
