base_dn

string

Sets the base of the Distinguished Name (DN) of the directory service groups. The base should consist of only Domain Components (DCs). The base_dn will populate with a default value when a URI is entered by parsing domain components from the URI. The base DN should specify DC= for each domain component and multiple DCs should be separated by commas.

bind_password

string

Sets the password of the bind_user user name account.

bind_user

string

Sets the user name that can be used to bind to and query the directory.

For Active Directory, enter the username - often referred to as sAMAccountName or User Logon Name - of the account that is used to perform directory lookups.

For OpenLDAP, enter the full DN of the user.

dstype

string

The type of directory service to work on

Choices:

  • "management" ← (default)

  • "data"

enable

boolean

force_bind_password

boolean

If set to false and bind_user is unchanged the password will not be reset.

Choices:

  • true ← (default)

group_base

string

Specifies where the configured groups are located in the directory tree. This field consists of Organizational Units (OUs) that combine with the base DN attribute and the configured group CNs to complete the full Distinguished Name of the groups. The group base should specify OU= for each OU and multiple OUs should be separated by commas. The order of OUs is important and should get larger in scope from left to right. Each OU should not exceed 64 characters in length.

Not Supported from Purity 5.2.0 or higher. Use purestorage.flasharray.purefa_dsrole module.
