How to use AD users to work with MCCLI?
I know MCCLI need the root or root equivalent user to run the MCCLI commands. But I have a requirement to do something like run as a AD user after I connect as root. What is mcsuser is used for? Avamar GUI console will let the users to start at the respective domain level if the users (either Axion or Active Directory). Will MCCLI let me use an AD user using mcsuser? When I tried I got the login failed message. Of course, I have already configured to authenticate Avamar using AD in the Avamar Admin console. If I can do that, I can connect to Avamar server as root user, but still run the mccli command as a user of that Avamar Domain where I define the access to the user.

We are running some workflows thro vCO. We are using SSH to connect and run MCCLI at this time. We have created so many Avamar Domains and want to access those domains in the AD user context. At this time we are running MCCCLI as root or root equivalent user. If we can run as a AD user or a user that we add in the Avamar Administration console in the Axion Authentication, that will let us impersoante MCCLI. This will allow us to prevent the user be able to get the information of other Avamar Domains where he do not have access to.

Hello,
You can run MCCLI commands only as linux OS users (root, admin and dpn)
As MCCLI commands are run via command shell, we can't use any Avamar administrator user or AD user to login to command shell and run MCCLI commands.
Could you let us know why you want to run MCCLI as an AD user
