We have a new HCP Object store and would like to use Data Migrator on a Windows PC to access a namespace.

The HCP is configured to use Active Directory authentication.

We can successful configure data migrator to access the namespace using a local namespace account, but we get an error 403 when trying to configure it to use an AD account.  We can browse to the namespace using the AD account from a web browser, so there is no issue with the AD account permissions to the namespace.

We are using data migrator v6.1.0.9. Can someone confirm that we can use AD accounts as well as local HCP accounts with Data Migrator and if so how.

Hi Nigel Budd,

HCP Data Migrator (HCP-DM) supports only local accounts at this time. However, you can take advantage of the open-source version of Data Migrator that does support Active Directory accounts.

See here: HCP OPEN DATA Migrator

Hi Michael,

That's great, thank you.

Are there any plans for Hitachi to update their Data Migrator to be able to use AD authentication ?

Not sure I can answer that, Nigel.

I haven't verified this myself but I believe Open DM has the same code base and should be very close to the "original" HCP-DM.
