Hi, The Sun SAN and the Bluecoat have multiple authentication sections, looks like they will query both til they get an answer. ie a specific AD tab and then a generic LDAP tab can also be configured.
Bluearc can only do one type per EVS (virtual storage server) it seems so we have to designate either AD or LDAP per EVS but we can have 64 EVS's so its how we split them up. I will do RFE's once RHEL6.2 is GA and ive sucked the Bluearc's architect's brain dry....... :D regards Steven Jones Technical Specialist - Linux RHCE Victoria University, Wellington, NZ 0064 4 463 6272 ________________________________________ From: freeipa-users-boun...@redhat.com [freeipa-users-boun...@redhat.com] on behalf of Dmitri Pal [d...@redhat.com] Sent: Monday, 5 December 2011 1:00 p.m. To: freeipa-users@redhat.com Subject: Re: [Freeipa-users] Some feature requests On 12/04/2011 02:35 PM, Steven Jones wrote: > Hi, > > RFE? request for engineering? via RHN support portal?

We do not know what this hardware wants or expects. We do not even know what kind of lookups it does. Is it nss_ldap? If so and underlying OS is Solaris you need to turn on the IPA compat tree and point the device to that tree. Via compat tree you can expose the information inside FreeIPA tree in any shape you want so if the device wants something special you would be able to satisfy its tastes as long as the data already is some place in the main tree. If it is not then it is a different issue. > ;] > > I will be attempting a new Bluearc this week......which is centos 4.8 > apparently.... > > ;/ > > I also find that the vendors only speak AD, they are all MS trained.....they > are totally clueless when I mention LDAP and especially IPA....."Ive never > done a Linux/LDAP connection, I will have to ask engineering" is the common > answer......seems in NZ and even in APAC that is a common, I usually dont get > an answer....... If it is AD specific it might not use LDAP.
