REGISTER NODE command no longer creates an administrative user ID by default
With Tivoli® Storage Manager Version 7.1.8, the REGISTER NODE command does not automatically create an administrative user ID that matches the node name. This product update is designed to optimize user authentication to a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.
This product update does not affect existing client nodes, but can affect the process of
registering new client nodes, including but not limited to nodes for IBM Spectrum Protect™ backup-archive clients. In
some cases, you might have to create an administrative user ID when you register a node. You can
create the administrative user ID by issuing the REGISTER NODE command and
specifying the USERID parameter:
register node node_name password userid=node_namewhere node_name specifies the node name and password specifies the node password.
For information about the types of clients that are affected, see technote 7048963.
