ONTAP 9 System Manager, Active Directory Authentication

[MagicSteven]

FAS2554 with ONTAP 9 RC1 in a cluster.

We've configured a CIFS svm, configured domain-tunnel and created user logins for both an AD user and an AD group, all for applications ssh, http and ontapi.

Login name created for <netbios>\<username> and <netbios>\<groupname>.

Login works for SSH, but not for http/system manager.

So... is this a known bug in ONTAP 9?

I didn't find anything, but those google skills...

According to documentation,

---

AD group account access is supported only with the SSH and ontapi applications.

---

Are you trying to use group account?

This is a known bug and will be fixed in 9.0GA.

Has to do with System Manager adding an extra "/" to the login names.

Actually, it was already fixed in ONTAP 9 RC2.

We've updated our clusters and can now log onto system manager with our AD accounts 🙂

Thanks, missed that.
So we have to live with it for the next few weeks 🙂
