HP CloudSystem Enterprise and Foundation Software
Configuring Directory Services
in HP CloudSystem
CloudSystem identity management includes support for
Microsoft Active Directory and OpenLDAP. This white
paper details step-by-step how to set up directory
services in CloudSystem Foundation and Enterprise.
Directory Tree Samples
Two directory tree samples are employed in this white paper. The Directory Tree 1
represents a Microsoft Active Directory tree while the Directory Tree 2 exemplifies an
OpenLDAP tree. Both are detailed in the right side column.
CloudSystem Foundation
Use the CloudSystem Console to manage directory services in CloudSystem Foundation.
Infrastructure administrators can configure directories and associate directory groups to
administrative roles. Create a directory entry using the CloudSystem Console > Settings >
Security > Edit > Directories > Add directory screen.
The CloudSystem Portal and its underlying OpenStack Keystone service are
automatically configured based on the default directory set in the CloudSystem
Console. Cloud administrators can then manage directory users within the directory
service itself, without any other configuration in CloudSystem.
The following sections depict how to set up Microsoft Active Directory and OpenLDAP.
in CloudSystem.
Microsoft Active Directory
Step 1. Add the directory. Name the directory entry and select the “Active Directory” type.
Enter the search context which consists of user identifier, user search base and base DN
(suffix) as shown below.
Important: Be sure to enter the search context correctly and identically in Foundation
(CloudSystem Console) and Enterprise (Cloud Service Management Console).

Directory Tree 1 – Active Directory
sample
Below is an Active Directory tree sample
that contains hierarchical organizational
units. The “North America” organizational
unit contains the “Admins Group” and
“Sales Group” groups as well as the
“smith” and “johnson” user accounts. Let’s
consider that the “smith” user account
belongs to the “Admins Group” while
“johnson” is a member of “Sales Group”.
