Description :Univiewer users can not login to UVMS while using their LDAP login.

Environment

OS: All

Cause

Cause type:
By design
Root Cause: The problem is related to the UVMS variable LDAP_MEMBERSHIP_AT_LOGIN which is by default set to Y

Resolution

In order to avoid this problem from happening again you should set the variable LDAP_MEMBERSHIP_AT_LOGIN to N, since the group memberships on the Active Directory are not supposed to change several times a day.

In order to change it, go to node settings of uvms - advanced settigns ->
Update group membership at login (LDAP Synchronization mode only) --> No

Then restart the UVMS, the issue should not occur anymore.
