Local Admin account vs OD

[Spectrum]

I built a new server from scratch using 10.4.5. As I have always done in the past, I chose to make it a standalone server at first and then promoted it to OD Master.

Obviously, I had to create a new diradmin account for the OD and I did. However, the OD does not recognize the local admin account (named xsadmin in this case) in any fashion at all.

In the past, I never had this issue. Has the handling of local admin accounts been altered in some fashion in 10.4.5 so that they are no longer allowed to appear in the OD?

1.) Does not appear in the list of accounts in WGM if looking at the LDAP directory.
2.) Can not auth in WGM against the LDAP directory to manage it.

Only the diradmin account is capable of doing either now.

I’ve updated other existing servers with local admin accounts and never had this issue. Either account could admin the OD through WGM. It is only on this built from scratch new server.

I sort of expected this answer and honestly, I’m glad to know it isn’t me but something that was changed for the better. It just behaved differently than my other existing servers and I wanted to make certain that something wasn’t hosed before continuing to add data to it.

Thanks, guys.
