Should cluster admin accounts be case sensitive? #73

Closed scaleoutsean closed 2 years ago

scaleoutsean commented 5 years ago

After I add the cluster admin account DirkD

PS /home/sean> Connect-SFCluster 192.168.1.30 -Username DirkD -Password B00GInites                        
...
PS /home/sean> Connect-SFCluster 192.168.1.30 -Username dirkd -Password B00GInites 
Connect-SFCluster : Unable to connect to endpoint: https://192.168.1.30/json-rpc/7.0.

In that case I'd expect this to work, because DirkD and dirkd would be different accounts with different AccountID's, but:

PS /home/sean> New-SFClusterAdmin -Username dirkd -AcceptEula:$true -Password 123123123 -Access reporting
New-SFClusterAdmin : xDuplicateUsername: xDuplicateUsername

Hi Sean, unfortunately this is a limitation on the element side. We only pass the data to and from so we are unable to effect this behavior.

All right, that's fine as long as it's documented (somewhere). Maybe it already is, but in the online help and few other places I looked I couldn't find anything about case sensitivity.

Ideally either in -full help for each *SFClusterAdmin cmdlet or in http://solidfire.github.io/sdk-dotnet/help/html/P_SolidFire_Element_Api_ClusterAdmin_Username.htm

I think that is a completely fair ask. I'll add it to our things to do for the 1.6 release.

@scaleoutsean Help of New-SFclusterAdmin is updated which explicitly mentions that "Username is not case sensitive" and change is available in the SDK12.3 release. So closing the issue.
