Error description

  • LDAP user exit adds "cn=users" into the full DN and it may
    prevent the user id getting authenticated with LDAP server
    
    For example,
    
    In the UE.LOG file, the full DN is as follows,
    
    DIRECT user is CN=Simmons\,
    Kristen,OU=Admins,OU=Corporate,cn=users,DC=ad,DC=abc,DC=net
    
    
    The correct DN is,
    
    CN=Simmons\,
    Kristen,OU=Admins,OU=Corporate,DC=ad,DC=ewsad,DC=net
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • During authentication for AD, we sometimes add cn=users when
    "creating" a DN,
    this sometime make some user log on failed, even though it is
    easy for workaround,
    it is better to get rid of this in code.
    

Problem conclusion

  •  Fix in cm83fp7
    

Temporary fix
