CIS User Domain Name Specification for Data Virtualization Services

Introduction

The document describes how to troubleshoot a problem that is encountered with the Cisco Information Server (CIS) where a client login prompt only offers input for the username and password when connections to a Data Virtualization (DV) service is made, such as a webservice or ODATA.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on the CIS Version v6.2.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Problem

You log into a Composite web service and you want to specify the user domain name but the you are not in the default Composite domain. Typically this scenario is encountered if you make the request as an authenticated Local Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user in the CIS, and you belong to the custom domain that is configured in the CIS in order to utilize LDAP.

The problem is that the User Interface (UI) only provides fields for a user and a password.

Solution

In the HTTP authentication token, the WS-Security user name token, or the username field in the UI, you can enter your username with this format:

user@<your domain name>

For example, when a user named bsmith from the Composite LDAP domain named myldap makes a web service request, the username should be entered as bsmith@myldap.
