Multiple users or groups exist with the same name under user base DN or group base DN
To troubleshoot the issue
- Check if the nbatd logs contain the following error:
CAuthLDAP::validateGroup - search returned '2' entries for group name 'team_noone', even with referrals set to OFF,9:debugmsgs,1
- Validate the number of matching entries for the existing base DN using the ldapsearch command:
ldapsearch -H <LDAP_URI> -D "<admin_user_DN>" -w <passwd> -d <debug_level> -o nettimeout=<seconds> -b <BASE_DN> <search_filter>
This is applicable if user search attribute (-a option) and group search attribute (-y option) do not have unique values for the existing user base DN and group base DN respectively.
Example of validation message:
ldapsearch -H ldap://example.veritas.com:389 -D "CN=Test User,OU=VRTSUsers,DC=VRTS,DC=com" -w ****** -b "DC=VRTS,DC=com" "(&(cn=test user)(objectClass=user))" # LDAPv3 # base <DC=VRTS,DC=com> with scope subtree # filter: (cn=Test User) # requesting: ALL # Test User, VRTSUsers, VRTS.com dn: CN=Test User,OU=VRTSUsers,DC=VRTS, DC=com # Test User, RsvUsers, VRTS.com dn: CN=Test User,OU=RsvUsers,DC=VRTS,DC=com # numEntries: 2
