Adding a PowerScale Application

In order to integrate with PowerScale, first create an application entry in Data Access Security.

To add an application, use the New Application Wizard.

  1. Go to Admin > Applications.
  2. Select Add New to open the wizard.

General Details

  1. Review and edit the application's general details:

    • Application Type - PowerScale
    • Application Name - Logical name of the application
    • Description - Description of the application
    • Tags - Select tags for the application from the dropdown list or type a new name. Select Enter to create a tag.

  2. Select an Identity Collector of type Active Directory.

    • You can create identity collectors on the Admin > Identity Collectors page.

  3. Select Next to open the Connection Details page.

Connection Details

  1. Review and edit the application's general details:

    • Host Name - The real name used when connecting to the CIFS server. This will be used by the SMB (CIFS) protocol.

      Note

      NFS is not supported at this time.

    • Domain Name, Username, Password - Credentials for the user defined in the prerequisites.

    • Storage Cluster Name - The name defined in the PowerScale Auditing configuration. If no storage cluster name is defined in the PowerScale Web Admin interface Auditing configuration, leave blank.
    • Access Zone - Enter the Access Zone which the PowerScale is being configured. Leave empty if configuring a single application for all access zones. Field does not accept multiple values. See Configuring PowerScale with Data Access Security for more details.

    • Use OneFS API - Toggle on to enable access to the OneFS API. If not enabled, Data Access Security will collect information via SMB protocol which accesses only the managed Access Zone configured.

      Tip

      We recommend only enabling this for Data Access Security applications containing the System Access Zone or if configuring one Data Access Security application for all access zones.

    • Web Administrative Interface - Valid only If access to the OneFS API is enabled, by enabling the Use OneFS API toggle. This field specifies the location of the Management API (System access zone). This field accepts IP addresses or any resolvable DNS name (FQDN or otherwise).

    • Aliases - SmartConnect Zone Aliases used as alternative DNS Names for the CIFS Server. All aliases must be provided to ensure that all activities performed on that server, through all access paths, are monitored by Data Access Security. These are available under the IP Pool Settings, in the Network Configuration section of the PowerScale OneFS Admin Interface, under the Cluster Management > Network Configuration tab.

Note

For access zone configurations, see Configuring PowerScale with Data Access Security.

Note

Storage Cluster Name, Access Zone, Use OneFS API, and Aliases are only needed if utilizing Activity Monitoring.
