This topic describes how to configure AD, LDAP, and DNS in the Cloud Storage Gateway (CSG) console.
Background information
Active Directory (AD) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) are standard application protocols used to query and change directory information. Select the AD or LDAP service that you want to join and configure.
- File gateways version 1.0.36 and later allow you to configure AD, LDAP, and DNS in the CSG console.
- You can join an AD domain only after you complete the DNS settings.
- You can join either an AD or LDAP domain, but not both.
- The permissions of the current AD domain user, LDAP user, and on-premises user override each other and whichever configured last takes effect. After you join or leave an AD domain, or connect to or disconnect from an LDAP server, the user permissions configured in the CIFS share are automatically removed.
- The AD feature supports 64-bit Windows Server 2016 Datacenter and Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.
- The LDAP feature supports 64-bit CentOS 7.4 with OpenLDAP 2.4.44.

What to do next
On the AD/LDAP/DNS page, you can also perform the following operations.
Operation | Description |
---|---|
End the AD connection | Under Windows Active Directory (AD), click End Connection. |
End the LDAP connection | Under Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), click End Connection. |

Switch DNS Server and change DNS server IP addresses.
Note When you configure DNS for a cloud file gateway to join an AD domain, replace the
first IP address of the DNS server with that of the domain controller. Keep the second
IP address.
