LDAP and role-based access control

Role-based access control (RBAC) is a general security model that simplifies administration by assigning roles to users and then assigning permissions to those roles. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a protocol to implement an RBAC methodology.

The TS7700 supports RBAC through the System Storage® Productivity Center or by native LDAP by using Microsoft Active Directory (MSAD) or IBM's Resource Access Control Facility (RACF).
