According to NetApp's web site, LDAP for UNIX is not supported; however, they add a caveat that you should contact your sales representative. (http://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=ntapcs8502&resou...) They'll probably be pushing the data fabric manager, which is all that popped up when I first searched for LDAP on the now site. One of the features of DFM is that it allows for "LDAP based authentication" (http://now.netapp.com/NOW/products/field/alert122.shtml); whether that is actually LDAP or Active Directory, I don't know. Anyone from Netapp wish to comment?

Hi
Advice to netapp folks
Monthes ago I asked if Ontap will support native LDAP (openldap) authentication ...
I know active directory is supported BUT we do not want use M$ stuff here, we have a fully functionnal LDAP server running under UNIX ( Linux/Debian) and are satisfied with it.
I repost my request as I have for now a brand new F87 that is not in production for now ( it will be in few weeks )
This machine would be a test platform if there is some beta ontap release that it supposed to support this kind of LDAP authentication.
Thanks for any answer.
