We conducted authentication and access control tests to determine the best method for shared access.
- Full Active Directory (recommended)
- Where the Geutebrück server and the PowerScale cluster are part of the same Windows domain.
- Partial Active Directory
- Where the Geutebrück servers are part of the Windows domain, but the PowerScale cluster is administered locally.
- Fully locally administered control
- Where the Geutebrück servers and the PowerScale cluster are administered locally.
Alternatives to the previous methods might exist, but the Dell Technologies Safety & Security Lab team does not plan to derive or support other methods.
- Click .
- Under Active Directory, select Join a domain and add the Windows domain and appropriate users using one of the following options:
- When the PowerScale cluster and G-Core are not part of the same domain, set the shares to Run as Root. This setting is not ideal from a security perspective.
- When the PowerScale cluster and G-Core server are part of the same domain, configure the DVM Camera service to use the Domain account with read/write permissions to the PowerScale cluster share. During the initial installation of the camera server, use the G-Core administrator account specification wizard to configure the camera service. Specify the recording location for the camera server using the full UNC path of the PowerScale share.
