Eyeglass Service Account Minimum Privileges

Home

Overview

Eyeglass communicates with PowerScale clusters to perform discovery and add/update/delete of share, export and quota configuration information. The minimum PowerScale cluster node user privileges required for Eyeglass/PowerScale connectivity to successfully perform configuration replication and support other Eyeglass features are:

NOTE: Any change to Eyeglass Service Account privileges requires an Eyeglass sca service restart to recognize the change (procedure below).

NOTE: AD or LDAP user is not supported, this lowers the system availability and adds dependency on AD/LDAP servers for API calls, local users on PowerScale have no dependence on AD/LDAP, in addition this generates too many authentication requests for API calls. 

In addition to creation of the Eyeglass service account on the PowerScale cluster, the sudoer file on the cluster must be updated to allow the Eyeglass service account to execute OneFS CLI commands that require Elevated Permissions to run as root.

Step 1 - Creating the local PowerScale Eyeglass User - PowerScale Command Line For Eyeglass DR, Ransomware Defender, Easy Auditor and Storage Cluster Monitor

Use these permissions for all of the products above.

  1. Follow create steps below
  2. Then move to step 2 SUDO file configuration

To provision user and role from the PowerScale Cluster command line:

These commands below are executable by ssh as root on PowerScale and then right click : Note: Service account set to password never expires.
