Applies to

  • ONTAP 9.11.1 and above
  • ONTAP admin nsswitch authentication

Issue

  • ONTAP admin user is unable to login with nsswitch authentication method
  • By default ONTAP uses LDAP simple bind to authenticate admin users with the LDAP server
  • With LDAP simple bind method ONTAP sends a user or group name to the LDAP server, receives the stored hash password, and compares the server hash code with the hash passcode generated locally from the user password. If they are identical, ONTAP grants login permission.
