Which of the following domain controllers can be used in multi-protocol convergence and interworking scenarios for OceanStor Pacified....

Question

Options

• ALDAP
• BAD
• Cnative
• DNIS

• A
  76% (25)
• C
  24% (8)

Explanation

LDAP, AD, and NIS are all external directory services that can integrate with OceanStor Pacifica in multi-protocol convergence environments, enabling unified authentication across both Windows (CIFS/SMB) and Unix/Linux (NFS) protocols. LDAP provides a vendor-neutral, cross-platform directory access protocol that works across heterogeneous environments. AD (Active Directory) handles Windows-based authentication and can interoperate with NFS clients through identity mapping. NIS (Network Information Service) serves Unix/Linux clients, making it essential when NFS and CIFS protocols must coexist and share user identity information.

Option C, "native," is incorrect because the native domain controller mode relies on local user accounts managed directly on the storage system itself. It cannot integrate with external directory services or support the identity mapping and interworking required when multiple protocols from different ecosystems must authenticate against a common user database.

Memory tip: Think of it as "external beats internal" -- LDAP, AD, and NIS are all external directory services capable of bridging different protocol worlds, while "native" is self-contained and isolated, making it unsuitable for cross-protocol interworking.
