Error description

  • In some cases, server users defined with LDAP authentication on
    Windows Active Directory are not found.
    
    Administrative client dsmadmc will report the following error:
    
    IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
    Command Line Administrative Interface - Version 7, Release 1,
    Level 6.3
    (c) Copyright by IBM Corporation and other(s) 1990, 2016. All
    Rights
    Reserved.
    
    Enter your user id:  jdoe
    
    Enter your password:
    
    ANS1017E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure.
    ANS8023E Unable to establish session with server.
    
    ANS8002I Highest return code was -50.
    
    
    The "jdoe" user is a valid user in Active Directory and can
    successfully login in Windows environment.
    
    The LDAP LDAPCACHE trace will show error similar to the
    following:
    
    7:27:40.556 [483993][ldapintr.c][5362][LdapCheckEntry]:Exit: dn
    = (JDOE@EXAMPLE.COM) does not exist
    
    
    This is an issue with LDAP search. A domain name is attached to
    the SAMAccountName, and if the resulting value does not match
    the UPName, the search fails.
    
    For example:
    
    UPName: john.doe@example.com
    SAMAccountName: jdoe
    
    In this case LDAP search for user "jdoe" will fail.
    
    
    IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected:
    IBM Spectrum Protect server 8.1 on all platforms
    
    
    Initial Impact:
    Medium
    
    
    Additional Keywords:
    Spectrum Protect; TSM; LDAP; Active Directory; UPName;
    SAMAccountName
    

Local fix

  • Change user part of the UPName to match SAMAccountName for
    affected user.
    
    For example:
    
    UPName: jdoe@example.com
    SAMAccountName: jdoe
