Silence secd.ldap.bindDn.missing alert

Robert_ — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:11:56 GMT

FAS2720 running ONTAP 9.8P2, is throwing regular alerts about secd.ldap.bindDn.missing and I want to silence the alerts.

The system is not linked and will not be linked to any LDAP or AD, and CIFS is disabled. Therefore the suggestion to configure the LDAP user to resolve the alert is not applicable.

Check this out 8https://kb.netapp.com/?title=Advice_and_Troubleshooting%2FData_Storage_Software%2FONTAP_OS%2F%2522secd.ldap.bindDn.missing%2522_alert_seen_in_EMS_logs_after_ONTAP_upgrade_to_9.8_and_above), but I think you should create a Case, because you are using no CIFS Stuff..

You can disable the alert by adding an "event filter rule" to exclude that alert. On another note, it should not show that error if ldap is not configured. You might want to check ldap configuration on the vserver:
vserver services ldap show
