Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Microsoft LDAP server
  • Secure LDAP
  • LDAPS
  • Start-TLS

Issue

  • Operations which require an LDAP connection between ONTAP and the MS LDAP Server (AD site discovery for instance) fail.
  • Changing ACL on a file (error message on Windows client side)
    cannot determine whether the computer is joined to a domain
  • Enabling LDAP client on port 636 with vserver services name-service ldap client modify fails
  • LDAP server requires a user bind parameter to be set [-bind-dn <ldap_dn>] - Bind DN (User)

  • In the EMS and SECD logs Invalid credentials, which seem to be related to the failure when initiating the secure LDAP connection.

EMS:

secd: secd.conn.auth.failure:notice]: Vserver (<vserver>) could not authenticate over the network to server (). Error: Invalid credentials (Service: LDAP (Active Directory), Operation: SiteDiscovery).
  • Depending on whether LDAPS or START-TLS is used, it will manifest itself in the SECD logs slightly different.
