Issue

  • After deleting the CIFS server from an SVM, the following emergency-level EMS events are repeatedly generated:
secd.ldap.noServers: None of the LDAP servers configured for Vserver are currently accessible via the network for LDAP service type (Service: LDAP(NIS & NameMapping), Operation: CheckLDAPConfig)
  • LDAP connectivity checks show errors such as:
::> vserver services name-service ldap check -vserver <vserver_name>
              Vserver: <vserver_name>
Client Configuration Name: <config_name>
          LDAP Status: down
  LDAP Status Details: Error: Validate the Ldap configuration procedure failed
  ...
  [42] Unable to connect to LDAP(NIS & NameMapping) service on <dc_fqdn>
  [42] CIFS server is not available even though -bind-as-cifs-server is set.
  • Attempts to modify the LDAP client configuration (Example: setting ‘Bind using CIFS credentials’ to false or specifying a Bind DN) result in:
Error: command failed: Validation of Base DN specified in the LDAP client configuration failed. Reason: bind-dn is invalid or bind credentials are invalid.
