User or group does not exist
To troubleshoot the issue
Check if the nbatd logs contain the following error:
CAuthLDAP::validatePrpl - user 'test user' NOT found, 9:debugmsgs,4 CAuthLDAP::validateGroup - group 'test group' NOT found, 9:debugmsgs,4
If a user or group exists in the LDAP domain, but the vssat validateprpl or the vssat validategroup command fails with this error, validate if the user or the group exists in the current base DNs (-u and -g options) using the following command.
ldapsearch -H <LDAP_URI> -D "<admin_user_DN>" -w <passwd> -d <debug_level> -o nettimeout=<seconds> -b <BASE_DN> <search_filter>
