Authentication for 7-mode

Anirban — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 15:30:00 GMT

So i have set up authentication in cmode FAS using the commuties help(Thanks to all contributors in the community.) using a domain tunnel and using the security login create command.
Nowmy AD users areable tologin using their credentials and specificrights has been provided to the group.

Now i want to implement the samething in 7-mode FAS.
Where i want users to login to the filer using their domain\username and password and makechanges as per their permissions.

I tried the useradmin domain user add domain\user -g "Backup Operators"

but it didnt work.

Is there anything else which i need to do? Or is there any documents which might help me in this configurations.

Hi @Anirban

I am the one who helped you with that issue ... 🙂

1 . Please check cifs services are configured on the 7-mode controller or not. cifs must be configured on the 7-mode controller in-order to integrate active directory.

2. Please create a group with specific permissions

useradmin group add <group name> -r <role>

3. Please use the below command to add the AD users to the group.

useradmin domainuser add <AD\user (or) group> -g <local group name>

After that please try to login to netapp using below format

username : AD\<user name>

Password : AD password
