Use the Federated Security page to view and manage Users, Groups, Roles, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), and EFS setup.
Federated security is a security configuration that provides separation between the service that a client accesses and the authentication and authorization procedures for accessing the service.
To view a list of Federated Security configuration list for the cluster, select Federated Security tab, and select View at the top of the page.
You can use this page to view the list of Federated Security configuration for a cluster.
You can define groups for users who access the same applications or hardware, perform the same tasks, or have similar requirements for accessing PowerHA® SystemMirror tasks and information.
Use this page to configure one or more security roles for PowerHA SystemMirror, which are based on AIX® Role Based Access Control (RBAC) roles. This page is available only if you configured a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) registry.
LDAP is a standard method for accessing and updating information in a centrally located directory. PowerHA SystemMirror uses LDAP to keep authentication, group, and user information common across clusters.
PowerHA SystemMirror uses an EFS keystore to maintain the details of users and groups in a cluster. This keystore file is stored either on a shared file system or in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). You must create the EFS keystore before you create or add EFS file systems to the cluster.
