Related to ldap, this new implementation of a SMB manager was mentioned on the subreddit: https://ceph.io/en/news/blog/2025/smb-manager-module/ It appears to include functionality to directly interact with AD. Not sure if it would work with more complex smb.conf needs. On Mon, Jun 30, 2025 at 2:30 PM Harry G Coin <hgcoin@gmail.com> wrote:
To get ldap working, we had to set up samba to manage the shares (it has the ability to do ldap auth, connecting the smb accounts to the linux ownership/permission space).
It would be a very nice help if ceph would include a native, secondary ldap option, if only just for anything doing file or block device sharing.

Hi Guys, We have a Ldap server with all users login details.
We have to mount data stored in Ceph to several client nodes via CephFS so that users can access that data and start using that data in their processes. But we need to grant permission / ownership to users to enable them to access that data.
like chown user:group /dirs ( on Linux )
How will cephfs recognize users , groups that are in Ldap ?
Will I need to set-up Ldap authentication on all nodes in Ceph cluster for this purpose ( ceph mgr , ceph mons , ceph mds and all ods nodes )
Please advise.
Thanks, Gagan _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@ceph.io
