Authentication.conf error

d_lim

Hi all,

I'm currently facing an issue where i migrated the /etc/users/* from a standalone ES SH into the deployer's shcluster/apps/ to be deployed to the 3 SHC members.

Also the authentication.conf in the system/local for the SHC members are set up for LDAP mapped authentication.

After deploying and reloading authentication, the SHC(3) members does not* reflect the same amount of users on the individual search heads. 

Is this error a bug or any reason why the Users list is not populating correctly from the ldap

The issue was with the capitalization of the User base DN setting, instead of

dc=<something>,dc=com,dc=sg

I used

DC=<something>,DC=com,DC=sg

What problem are you facing ? Do you mean that no. of users exist in standalone SH are more compare to SHC ?

The SHC members among themselves, do not have the same amount of users as well

How you deployed authentication.conf, I'll suggest you to deploy it from deployer to SHC members so that it will be unique on all your SHC members.
