Symptomen

When attempting to join a Data Domain system to Active Directory, the operation fails with errors similar to the following:
messages.engineering:
ddsh: NOTICE: MSG-DDSH-00009: (tty=pts/2, session=13161) sysadmin: command "cifs set authentication active-directory abc.xyz.com <IP>"..

sms: NOTICE: Could not join domain abc.xyz.com

sms: NOTICE: cifs_join: result_status [3] result_string [Failed with internal error (no output)]

Oorzaak

Joining a Data Domain to Active Directory (AD) fails if the password contains multibyte characters.
 
  • Data Domain supports ASCII and extended ASCII characters, but not multi-byte characters
  • This limitation is only for the user password used when joining AD.
  • It does not apply to user authentication while connecting to a CIFS share on a Data Domain.

Oplossing

  • This issue does not affect data access on the Data Domain.
  • The workaround is to use only ASCII or extended ASCII characters in the password.
