Checking the format of directory-based storage array credentials
If you are using directory-based storage credentials for adding storage arrays to the IBM® Spectrum Control Base Edition (not for logging in to Spectrum Control), you must verify that the directory user name is provided in the correct format.
Different formats are possible for a directory-based user name.
For example:
- User name without the domain name, for example: john21
- User name with the domain name, for example: john21@domain_name
The format that should be used depends on the directory user
name attribute string that is defined on the storage system. For
example:
- sAMAccountName – User name without the domain name (john21).
- userPrincipalName – User name with the domain name (john21@domain_name).
Important: Other user name formats
that are not specified above may be used. Consult with your directory
server administrator about the required user name format, and make
sure that the user name format is properly defined on the storage
system.
