Create a System Account#
First, create a system account.
An example of a system account for Foreman is available at Creating_a_binddn_for_Foreman as well.
Note the complete DN of your system account. The foreman example uses “uid=foreman,cn=sysaccounts,cn=etc,dc=example,dc=com” (without quotes).
Connect Isilon OneFS to FreeIPA#
Isilon OneFS can be configured to connect to LDAP using one of the two methods:
Using the web UI#
Access –> Authentication Providers –> LDAP
+ Add an LDAP provider
Enter the LDAP provider name of choice.
Server URI:
ldaps://fqdn or ldaps://fqdn of FreeIPA serverMake sure the fqdn is resolvable from Isilon!
Base Distinguished Name:enteryourBaseDN
Bind to:entertheDNcreatedabove
Then enter the password for the DN and Isilon OneFS should be connected to FreeIPA via LDAP.
Using the command-line#
Get the status of authentication providers before beginning the configuration:
isi auth statusCreate a new LDAP provider using the command (replace BaseDN, DN, DNpassword as necessary):
isi auth ldap create test-ldap
–base-dn=”BaseDN”
–bind-dn=”DN”
–bind-password=”DNpassword”
–server-uris=”ldaps:// <ldaps://>”
–groupnet=
Double-checking the LDAP configuration#
Run the ldap search from the Isilon node to test whether the LDAP
connection works fine:
ldapsearch -x uid=adminThe Isilon+LDAP
Howto,
“isi auth ldap create”

were used to create this howto.
Notes#
The HowTo above was adapted from a community thread that mentioned
using the admin user.
The steps above are not verified as correct but are provided as a base
to work from.
The FreeIPA user and development community would appreciate feedback.
