LDAP authentication in HPE Nimble Storage
Hello, I have a few questions regarding LDAP in my HPE Nimble Storage enviornment.
- First off, what does adding LDAP to my install actualy add in terms of security over AD?
- Can I utilize groups to set a permission a user has individually?
- Do we still need a local user to set permissions but they then authentocate to AD?
- Is local authentication turned off if we enable AD?
- What happens if AD is unreachable?
Thanks

Re: LDAP authentication in HPE Nimble Storage
HI! We have a few blog posts on this site (which have been ported from our old Nimble forums) which detail integration with Microsoft AD.
Here's one that answers many of your questions (fyi do not be alarmed about the comments of requiring SMB1 - we now support SMB2 as of 2018 with NimbleOS 5).
Let me know if you have further questions after reading the blog post.

Re: LDAP authentication in HPE Nimble Storage
Thank you sir,
The article you linked was very helpfull. Howerver I still have two questions that I cant seem to find the answers for,
Is local authentication turned off if we enable AD?
What happens if AD is unreachable?
Hopefully you can provide some insight on these,
Cheers

Re: LDAP authentication in HPE Nimble Storage
Hello sir,
You'll be pleased to hear that AD authentication doesn't auto-switch off any local accounts created, including the Admin account. Therefore if you do lose connection to AD, you can still access the system via local accounts.

Re: LDAP authentication in HPE Nimble Storage
Just to add on to this.
My AD scheme doesn't work with how the Nimble CS3000 uses LDAP. I noticed that even when logging in with a local account while AD was unreachable it would cause severe sluggishness in the UI while trying to sign in and even crash the UI at times.
I am on the newest OS version BTW.

Re: LDAP authentication in HPE Nimble Storage
Hi o35Ltd
The Array logs and NTP needs to be checked for further troubleshooting, Request you to engage the Nimble support to find out why the " Access Denied " msg is displayed.

Re: LDAP authentication in HPE Nimble Storage
I think you have not read the case properly тАУ there is a link to set up AD Integration on the HPeNimble website. This link says тАШaccess deniedтАЩ. This is not anything that the SAN could log!
The document we want to find ios shown here but says access is denied when you try to access it LDAP authentication in HPE Nimble Storage - Hewlett Packard Enterprise Community<>
If this link is old please can you provide documentation how we can integrate Nimble storage management with Active Directory as we want to use AD accounts to manage the SAN, not local user accounts.
Please let me know
thanks

Hi o35Ltd
May I request you share the link which you tried?
Meanwhile, I would suggest you go through the guidelines for working with Nimble arrays and Active Directory using the below link and refer to Page 155
link for the document: https://infosight.hpe.com/InfoSight/media/cms/active/public/pubs_GUI_Administration_Guide_5_3_x.pdf
