Symptoms
When the switches have the same LDAP configuration, some users can log in to the switches with their LDAP username, while others cannot. The symptoms for the non-working LDAP users are as follows:
- The user's LDAP user can log in to the switch that is running FOS 9.X.
- The same LDAP user is unable to log in to the switch that is running FOS 8.2.3x
Cause
There is an LDAP username character limitation in version FOS 8.2.X. According to the update from Broadcom:
User Principal Name (UPN) "User Name + Domain" length for LDAP is 64 characters in FOS v9.0.1 release. The maximum length allowed in FOS 8.2.3c1 (or FOS v8.2.3x) is 40 characters.
Resolution
There are two workarounds available:
- Upgrade switches to FOS 9.X
- Shortening the username
