We assign all our users a Linux and a Windows account when they arrive, which have the same username, but each set of systems has their own password schemes. The vast vast majority of our users are on Linux, and their current home directories are mounted on an NFS mount. If they logged into a Windows machine, that same home directory would appear as a network drive, authenticated against their Windows account via CIFS (which can be a different password than the Linux account). When the account is created, the Linux account is created first, and the account creation script also creates the home directory (on a Solaris machine, but I'll keep saying Linux for brevity). The script runs as root, copies in a template structure, then does some chown/chmod stuff to make it owned by the new user. Then we create the Windows account, but 90% of our users never log into Windows to see it there. The few users who only use Windows (maybe 10, tops, out of 100+ accounts) almost never login to Linux, and a handful use both. Our arrangement lets them have the same home directory no matter which type of system they log into, and regardless if their passwords on both systems match. From what I can tell with the way NetApp handles home directories, the presumption is that home directories will always be a Windows-based scheme. It seems like -- if I understand this correctly -- the NFS mount for the home directory will also require authenticating with the Windows account, is this correct? It also seems like we won't be able to script this, and the account will have to login to a Windows system to have their home directory created if we went this route. Do I have these correct?

Hello, I am trying to create a custom role to limit the rights of a domain-based service account we use exclusively to run PowerShell scripts. The role resides in the main cluster SVM and I've only given it rights to change the replication throttle setting as shown below. I assigned the role to the service account with the applications ssh and ontapi. When testing, it immediately generated this error: "Insufficient privileges: user '<username>' does not have read access to this resource". Apparently I need to give at least read only access to a certain command to allow it to log on in the first place. Does anyone know what that would be? Role Name: script Command / Directory: vserver options Access Level: all Query: -option-name replication.throttle.outgoing.max_kbs

I am baffled by this particular issue and need some help. I wrote a PowerShell script to add a role to several NetApp controllers. The command is as follows: $commands = 'security login role modify -role netapp-harvest-role -access readonly -cmddirname cluster identity show ' The error says: " Error: "identity" was not expected. Please specify -fieldname first. However, I ran the command on the cluster CLI and it works without a problem. Its not accepting the second argument in the -cmddirname attribute. However, it does work with a single argument in this command. I tried directly with "plink.exe" and "Invoke-NcSSH" but neither of them worked. Here is the command syntax for both. Invoke-NcSSH Invoke-NcSsh -Command $commands -Controller $controllerip -Credential $credentials PLINK plink.exe -ssh $controllerip -l $username -pw $secondpass -batch $commands I am not sure whats wrong, but could use some help with this one. Anyone have any ideas???? Thanks!
