Authorizing NFS export users via LDAP

This feature is experimental and not intended for use in production environments.

By configuring access to a user directory via LDAP, you can control which users can access which NFS exports.

Prerequisites

NFS exports are created, as described in Creating NFS exports.
Authentication via Kerberos is enabled, as instructed in Authenticating NFS share users via Kerberos.
A directory of user accounts with desired NFS access parameters is prepared.

To configure access to an LDAP server

Go to the Storage services > NFS > Settings tab, and then click LDAP.
Turn on the toggle switch LDAP authorization, and then specify the following information:
- In Address, specify the IP address of the LDAP server.
- In Base DN, specify the distinguished name of the search starting point.
- In Bind DN and Bind password, specify the credentials of an LDAP authentication database user.
Click Save to enable access to the LDAP server.
