Description

  • This article describes the procedure to change the LDAP schema from using `sAMAccountName` to `UPN` (User Principal Name) for user account mapping in ONTAP.
  • This change is necessary when Ubuntu users have accounts matching the Windows UPN, and the current schema using `sAMAccountName` does not provide correct permissions.
  • This article describes the procedure for environments using Windows AD LDAP (MS-LDAP). 
  • For RHEL-based LDAP environments, check with RHEL support to confirm whether the schema attributes "sAMAccountName" and "UPN" exist and whether they can be modified.
