I am not able to download configs from Solarwinds Nodes when using a local account (tradmin). I am able to download configs from Solarwinds Nodes when using my Active Directory account (DOCNET/tjadmin).
I use my Active Directory User id (tjadmin) to access Solarwinds Orion and Network Management Control (NCM). This same User id (tjadmin) is also part of the DOCNET domain. I am able to download configs from a Solarwinds Node that is configured with Cisco TACACS+ and AAA. However, I am not able to download a config from a Solarwinds Node which is not configured with Cisco TACACS+ and AAA.
Following are the steps I have taken in an attempt to resolve this issue:
- Created a Username (tradmin) and password on the Cisco switch
- Created a Solarwinds local account (tradmin). I used the same password as the one on the Cisco switch
- Ensured User Level Login Credentials for tradmin has the same password which was used in Step 1 and 2. For Enable Level, selected enable. I used the same enable password which was configured on the Cisco switch.
- Verified tradmin, password for tradmin, and enable password work by SSHing to the switch
- Removed all access-list, AAA, and TACACS+ on the switch.
In summary, I need to NCM download configs from Solarwinds Nodes while using a local username and password. I have verified the local username, password, and enable password work by accessing the Node via the SSH and using the local username, password, and enable password.
