Environment
Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 6
Novell iManager 2.6
CIFS plugin from NW65SP6 or later
Storage plugin from NW65SP6 or later
Situation
When trying to manager CIFS on a remote server, iManager shows the error "This user does not have the correct credentials to authenticate to the CIMOM client".
Debugging steps:
Enable LDAP tracing on the remote server using the following
commands:
SET DSTRACE=ON
SET DSTRACE=-ALL +LDAP
When selecting the server from within the CIFS option in
iManager, the DSTRACE screen shows the following messages:
TLS accept failure 1 on connection 0x8e590b60, setting err =
-5875. Error Stack:
error: 14094414:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES, sslv3 alert
certificate expired - SSL alert number 45
TLS handshake failed on connection 0x8e590b60, err -5875
BIO ctrl called with unknown cmd 7
This is caused because the SSL certificate used by LDAP on the
destination server has expired
Resolution
run PKIDIAG.NLM on the destination server to generate a new SSL
certificate. Then unload and reload NLDAP.NLM to make LDAP
use the new certificate. When running PKIDIAG make sure to
choose options 4, 6, and 0 (in that order).
Additional Information
Make sure the uniqueid attribute of the user that you are logged on
iManager is the same as the object name(CN). For instance, the
uniqueid of the "admin" object must be "admin"
