Authentication-server considerations

You can choose to use the local Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server or another external LDAP server as the authentication server.

The authentication server is a user registry that is used to authenticate user credentials. Lenovo XClarity Orchestrator supports two types of authentication servers:

Local authentication server. By default, XClarity Orchestrator is configured to use the local (embedded) LDAP server that resides in the orchestrator server.
External LDAP server. Microsoft Active Directory is supported as an external LDAP server. This server must reside on an outboard Microsoft Windows server that is connected to the management network.

For more information about setting up external LDAP servers, see Setting up an external LDAP authentication server.
