ILO Active Directory User Name Issue

[Kamal Kotecha]

I've configured ILO with AD, and can log in when I put my "First name, initial and surname".
Can I configure ILO login page to accept my userid instead i.e. kotek001

Thanks

What is the format of the login name you
are trying to use.
Is it
1.short name
Ex : sriv s
2.Distinguished name
Ex : CN=sriv s,CN=Users,DC=mycompu,DC=com
3.loginname@domain.com format
Ex : sriv@mycompu.com

Is kotek001 is the login name ?

I want to use my login name (userid) i.e kotek001. At the moment I have to use First Name, Initial and Last Name (Kamal K. Kotecha).
I think its the way LDAP works on Active Directory, but I wondered if there was way of changing the setting.

I would be interested at seeing a screen shot of your Directory Settings. I also have ILOs configured for AD authentication. If I left the the "Directory User Context #1" field blank, I could only log in with my UserPrincipleName (i.e.userid@domain). Since I put the fully-qualified domain name in "Directory User Context #1", then I only have to enter the SamAccountName (i.e. userid). But in neither case can I log in with First name, Middle Initial, and Surname like you.

Hi

I've attached a word document with screen shots.
As you can see I have configured
Directory User Conext 1 , and 2 with our OU's
I have also done the administrator group setiings.
I can log in as Kamal K. Kotecha , but not kotek001 (my SAMID).

Many Thanks

Kamal

I am using the extended schema, not the Default Directory schema like you are. I'm not sure how the default schema works, so I don't have much input. I'll keep watching the thread though.

Thankyou !

Try configuring the user search contexts. You can also verify that these are working on the Directory Tests page.

For example, if you can log in as kotek001@domain
you might want to add the search context @domain.

This should also work with the default schema mode.

There are some suggestions that you should consult on the Directory Settings help page.
