I am currently using the ManageOntap v4 SDK for NetApp devices to make snapshots to the device. I use the OSSV snapvault commandline to do restores.

The ManageOntap api has a couple ways to login to the device. I can do a Username\Password style, or I can use RPC style which will just login to the device using the logged in windows user.

I know OSSV uses the user (windows domain user) in the OSSV Configurator application to authenticate.

I need to login to the api using the user listed in the OSSV configurator. This would be a windows domain user.

Anyone know if this is possible ?

Thanks.

  • Are you asking if there is some way to automatically read the credentials from the OSSV config so you don't have to enter them again? The API & Storage Controller can definitely handle Windows Domain users through both RPC (i.e. password-less) and HTTP/HTTPS. – Eric Nicholson Aug 04 '11 at 13:23

After talking to NetApp support, the best solution was to use the NaServer.AUTH_STYLE.LOGIN_PASSWORD but pass the windows domain user that is listed in the OSSV configuration file. Format would be domain\user. The password would have to be supplied by the user since I can't use NaServer.AUTH_Style.RPC login style.
