You can configure identity federation if you want tenant groups and users to be managed in another
system such as Active Directory, OpenLDAP, or Oracle Directory Server.
About this task
Whether you can configure an identity federation service for your tenant depends on how your tenant account was set up. Your tenant might share the identity federation service that was configured for the
Grid Manager. If you see this message when you access the Identity Federation page, you cannot configure a separate federated identity source for this tenant.

Note: Configuration of identity federation has been verified with Active Directory, OpenLDAP and Oracle Directory Server. If you want to use another LDAP service, contact support.
Note: StorageGRID uses STARTTLS for securing LDAP communications. It does not support the LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) protocol. The default port used for communications with the LDAP server is 389, but you can use any port as long as your firewall is configured correctly.
