The IBM Storage Protect server does not accept the LDAPPASSWORD

If you receive a warning that the LDAPPASSWORD is not valid, the problem might not be with the password.

If you issue a SET LDAPPASSWORD command and receive error messages ANR3114E or ANR3116E, IBM Storage Protect might not be configured correctly. Examine any server messages that occurred around the time that ANR3114E or ANR3116E were issued to determine the cause of the errors. A common problem that you might see is that an incorrect value is set for the SET LDAPUSER command. The user must be entered in distinguished name (DN) format. For example:
ou=armonk,cn=tsmdata,uid=9A73819745
If the value does not conform to the DN, the LDAPUSER is not defined and you are unable to set the LDAPPASSWORD. A DN typically consists of a comma-separated list of naming attributes and value pairs. The following list shows the more commonly used naming attributes:
  • The common name (cn)
  • The user ID (uid)
  • The user principal name (upn)
  • The organizational unit (ou)
  • The domain component (dc)
  • The organization (o)
  • The country (c)
For example:
cn=Jack Spratt,ou=marketing,dc=tucson,dc=storage,dc=com
uid=abbynormal,ou=sales,dc=tucson,dc=storage,dc=com
uid=cbukowski,ou=manufacturing,o=storage,c=us
