Environment

Novell iManager 2.6
Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 6
Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 5
Novell Open Enterprise Server (NetWare based)

Situation

When trying to manage quotas on a remote volume from within Novell iManager the following error is returned:

error: This user does not have the correct credentials to authenticate to the CIMOM client.

Resolution

A possible reason for this could be that an Acces Control List (ACL) has been set on the Organizational Unit (OU) where the admin user is located.

OpenWBEM CIMOM will need to be allowed to use a proxy user for LDAP requests to overcome this issue.
Please refer to KB 7000279 on how to accomplish this.
