About User Authentication
Hitachi Storage Viewer supports the following user authentication methods:
• Local LDAP. Hitachi Storage Viewer bundles OpenLDAP to manage user login authentication. For information about OpenLDAP, go to http://www.openldap.org/.
• Enterprise LDAP. Refers to any standard LDAP service, including Active Directory. For information about Active Directory, go to Microsoft’s Active Directory portal.
By default, Hitachi Storage Viewer uses OpenLDAP to manage user login authentication.
• If your company uses a different LDAP service, such as Active Directory, configure Hitachi Storage Viewer to use that solution.
• If your company does not have an LDAP service, use OpenLDAP.
