IBM System Storage Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM System Storage products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

As more and more users transition to the new infrastructure provided by RedHat (and IBM company). This is coming up more often. The competing FS (weka, lustre, BeeGFS) have embraced this. If IBM want Spectrum scale to remain relevent they should consider this enhancement.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - IBM Spectrum Scale
Product - Spectrum Scale (formerly known as GPFS) - Public RFEs
Component - Product functionality
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - IBM Spectrum Scale
Product - Spectrum Scale (formerly known as GPFS) - Public RFEs
Component - V4 Product functionality
Yes, we tried the standard LDAP support. But IPA has deprecated the samba schema extension, and then hasn't populated the entries mmuserauth expects to find in LDAP. The same attributes are available under different schema. F.ex. mmuserauth expects to find the SID in sambaSID, but this is available as ipaNTSecurityIdentifier in IPA.
Other "samba" attributes mmuserauth require:
sambaPasswordHistory
sambaNTPasssword
sambaPwdLastSet
sambaAcctFlags
which I suspect are not strictly necessary, or could be mapped to other IPA attributes.
Have they tried configuring it through our standard LDAP support? If that does not work, a request to Red Hat to enhance IPA to work as an LDAP provider is recommended.
