When did you changed the param? Have you reboot DMs after that? Do you still have ndmp_md5 at the end of the line in password file for user used in NDMP config?

this param set long back.

yes i see _md5 in password file..

still i notice md5 authentication failed in server log..still working on this issue.

delete the ndmp user with

# /nas/sbin/server_user server_2 -delete user_name

recreate it with

# /nas/sbin/server_user server_2 -add -md5 -passwd user_name

verify it working, using ftp and the newly created user against an IP interface of the datamover
