Symptômes

Active Directory users cannot log authenticate in NetWorker command-line or user interfaces (NetWorker Management Console, NetWorker Web User Interface, so forth).
nsrlogin returns the error "incorrect username or password"; however, the user's logon name and password were entered correctly.

The authc-server.log logged the following message:

Unable to get user by name '<user name>'. Reason: Incorrect result size: expected 1, actual 0

Failed to bind as <Distinguished Name of the user> Users: org.springframework.ldap.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C090434, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 52f, v4f7c^@]; nested exception is javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C090434, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 52f, v4f7c^@]
Linux: /nsr/authc/logs/authc-server.log
Windows: C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\authc-server\tomcat\logs\authc-server.log

The same error message appears when attempting to update the external authority resource in NetWorker.

Cause

LDAP error code 49 means authentication error.
LDAP data error code 52f means that the Account Restrictions are preventing this user from signing in.
49 52f 1327 ERROR_ACCOUNT_RESTRICTION

In this scenario, the AD user account used to bind NetWorker AUTHC to the domain controller belonged to the "Protected Users" AD group.
 

Résolution

Perform one of the following actions:

  • Remove the AD user account from the Protected Users Group.
  • Create a new AD user account that is not part of the Protected User Security Group. The new AD user must be added to an AD group which has been granted NetWorker User Roles.
NOTE: If the AD user does not belong to the Protected Users group, consult with your domain admin. LDAP Error 49 Data 52f is a restricted access error code returned from the domain controller.

Informations supplémentaires

The following AD PowerShell command lists which AD groups the user belongs to: Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership username | Select-Object Name

NOTE: Where username is the user account used to bind NetWorker with Active Directory. This command requires the Active Directory PowerShell module to be installed. This should be included by default on the Domain Controller.
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership Administrator | Select-Object Name

For added security, configure NetWorker to use LDAPS instead of LDAP.
