IBM Storage Fusion Data Catalog Service - Integration with LDAP for group discovery

Today Fusion Data Catalog can only discover user accounts that have a profile in the storage array, which means that accounts that are part of a LDAP group or similar Auth Group, are unable to be identified and grouped together to provide a information about the data holdings that are consumed by a group of users. 

being able to add the group discovery component from LDAP, would allow for the cataloging and reporting on the consumption / storage / discovery of data of members of the group for better insight into how data is consumed.

 

Today this has to be performed manually with a user querying LDAP externally - identifying all the members of a gorup, then performing an individual search for the data holdings of each member, then exporting each of those holdings into an excel file and collating the data externally
