209 LDAP Feature for the Remote Console Switch
Login Failure. Reason: Access cannot be granted due to
Authentication Server errors
Please verify that the SIP object was created in the Active Directory and its
name exactly matches the name assigned to that SIP via the OSCAR at the
console switch.
The Dell
Standard Schema and the Dell Extended Schema use specific object
classes in the Microsoft Windows Active Directory to represent SIPs. The
Microsoft standard naming conventions for these object classes prohibit the
use of special characters or spaces. If you intend to use LDAP in a deployed
environment where target device names in SIPs currently include spaces or
special characters, you will need to rename them without spaces or special
characters.
Renaming a target device in a SIP should be done through the on-board web
interface or OSCAR at the console switch and then resynchronized through
the Remote Console Switch Software. Instructions for renaming a target
device in a SIP can be found in "Deleting and Renaming" on page 97 and
"Assigning Device Names" on page 50. It is important to note that while
OSCAR will allow you to enter spaces into the names assigned to the SIPs,
Active Directory does not. You must name SIP objects according to the
Microsoft Active Directory rules.
