LDAP window

You can use the LDAP window to create LDAP clients for user authentication, file access authorization, user search, and mapping services between NFS and CIFS.

The LDAP window is displayed as view-only at the cluster level in storage systems running Data ONTAP 8.2. However, the LDAP client can be created, edited, and deleted from the Vserver level.
