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

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.
