Hi ,
can you try this :
Open DCNM Web Client > Click Admin > Under Management Users select Remote AAA
From here you can change the Auth Mode to one of the following:
Local | Radius | TACACS+ | Switch | LDAP
enter the details..
Click Apply to submit changes.
Thanks-
Afroz

i opened a tac and after some investigation they found out that and its funny
when configuring LDAP on the DCNM a user can only access using is full name (i.e the display name), and not the login name.
here is an explanation:
when a user is configured the Active Directory, the user are configured with two sets of name:
First Name: User.
Last Name: Test
Full Name: User Test
2. A short name for login
Login Name: Utest
the DCNM LADP atribute for login is the full and not the short name.

Hi Dawit,
Can you provide the LDAP parameters exactly as they've been entered in DCNM?
Most commonly we see that the filter field on the [Admin > Remote AAA > LDAP] page is incorrect, because the example configuration is misleading/wrong. The filter field should not contain 'CN='.
For example my lab server has a working LDAP config like this,
.
Also, once you've entered the LDAP parameters use the "Test" button and try out your login credentials. Please share your result whether it says success or failure, because it will help us isolate where the problem is.
And finally, make sure that the DCNM services have been restarted after the authentication method is set to LDAP. A restart of the services is required for this to work.

Hi Eric,
I'm having some trouble getting DCNM to authenticate via LDAP. Could you please share a screen shot of a known working configuration so I can compare & setup mine accordingly?
