ONTAP 9: Active Directory Authentication Failed

[dunno1958]

I'm trying to set up AD authentication so that AD administrators can access the CLI and System Manager using their AD accounts

1. I've run CIFS setup and added a data SVM to AD, the SVM is called 'svm-hostname' and the computer account (CIFS server) is called 'hostname-cifs'

2. I've run the command >security login domain-tunnel create -vserver svm-hostname

3. I've then run the command '>security login create -vserver hostname -user-or-group-name "AD SEC GRP" -application ontapi -authentication-method domain -role admin'

4. I've repeated the above for ssh and http

hostname::> security login show

Vserver: hostname

autosupport    console     password      autosupport      no     none

I've tried various ways of login in with my AD account but I still keep getting access denied - any ideas?

Is it because the AD computer name ('hostname-cifs') is different to the data svm ('svm-hostname')

Thanks

Hi,

  Please find the link below that talks about how to login to SM using AD groups.

Guys and Gals: 

That link  is broke you provided. You might want to fix that.

I seem to be going though the same steps.

My tunnel is created, My CIFS Server is created. I know through trial and error you cannot have that same Vserver run CIFS and have a computer account create a computer with the same time. The Docs never really say when a CIFS Server is created it actually creates a computer account. Via this error in 9.5. A CIFS server for this Vserver already exists. Having both a CIFS server and an Active Directory account for the same Vserver is not supported. ( Cause it already created it )  Use the "vserver cifs delete" command to delete the existing CIFS server ( ACCOUNT) and try the command again. With the command that failed being. create -vserver XXXXNASDADAD -account-nameXXXXNASDADAD -domain something.something.net -ou CN  . Its seems the people that write on the docs and the people that do it are once removed. ( Are different folks.)
