Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:


Does Smarts Network Configuration Manager (Smarts NCM) support LDAP authorization?

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - NCM

Resolution

While you can use LDAP with Smarts NCM for user authentication to control user access such as when logging into the server, Smarts NCM does not support using LDAP for authorization, which controls what the user is allowed to do once authenticated/logged in.
