So, I'm chewing on the configuration management for my flock of TSM server instances in the brave new 6.3 world.
There's discussion of an LDAP server as a source of authentication, but if I see it correctly, what they really mean is that TSM is willing to store admin passwords in a remote database, access through the LDAP protocol. (which is fine and useful, for some purposes). Specifically, if I connect my TSM to an AD server, this does _not_ mean I can use AD credentials to authenticate my TSM admins. Right? I haven't been able to discern this from the docs, which is _really_ irritating. Because if I can, then I'm going to have an infarction right now. They've been talking about external authentication for at least 12 years. - Allen S. Rout
