Dear engineers,

The objective, which is supposed to completed is to configure an LDAP authentication on V-Plex clusters, so the storage administrators will be able to use their domain accounts to log in.

Unfortunately we are facing an issue with matching the right attributes between the Vplex and the AD. The VPLEX LDAP service is expecting an attribute named 'msSFU30Uidnumber'. This attribute does not exist in the current version of MS Services for Unix (SFU), because MS has changed the name to 'uidnumber'. We don't want to add "old" attributes to our AD scheme, so we may need to implement a mapping table on the LDAP client of the VPLEX management Servers, but so far we are unable to find a guidance to achieve this.

I'll appreciate your help the following questions:

1. Could you give and advice if such mapping table can be implemented and how?
2. Can you propose some other workaround for solving the objective above?

PS: Our current software versions are:

Product version: 5.0.1.01.00.05

SMSv2: D10.60.0.71.0

Mgmt server base: D4_MSB_7

Mgmt server software: D10.60.0.97

Thanks in advance!

With best wishes,
