Create an LDAP configuration

Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

The vserver services name-service ldap create command associates an LDAP client configuration with a Vserver.

-vserver <Vserver Name> - Vserver: This parameter specifies the Vserver with which you want to associate the LDAP client configuration. A data Vserver or admin Vserver can be specified.
-client-config <text> - LDAP Client Configuration: This parameter specifies the name of the LDAP client configuration, defined under the vserver services name-service ldap client command, that you want to associate with the Vserver. The value of the bind-as-cifs-server parameter on this LDAP client should be false, if the CIFS server of the associated data Vserver does not exist or exists in workgroup mode.
[-skip-config-validation <true>] - Skip Configuration Validation: Use this parameter to skip the LDAP configuration validation.

The LDAP client configuration, specified by the -client-config parameter, that you want to associate with the Vserver is validated to verify that at least one of the LDAP servers is reachable, and is providing LDAP services.

.

The validation fails if ONTAP was unable to connect to any LDAP server with the specified -client-config .

The following example associates the LDAP client configuration "corp" with the Vserver "vs1":

cluster1::> vserver services name-service ldap create -vserver vs1 -client-config corp
