Solarwinds SWQL Studio - AD USERS NOT ABLE TO LOGIN

Hi all,

We have been active users of Solarwinds SWQL Studio. We normally use the AD accounts to login into it. The AD Auth stopped working recently for all users.
We are able to access Solarwinds GUI using the same AD account and it works fine. The Auth is working for local accounts in SWQL Studio which are created inside SW but not for the AD Accounts.
The authentication is also failing for python/powershell scripts using the OrionSDK with AD accounts (all of them used to work before).

There was no upgrades performed on Solarwinds, the only change I can think of is Windows OS patching.

I have also checked the Orion.Accounts and AccountSID is not NULL.
SW Product Version: 2020.2.6
Is there anything there I can do to troubleshoot the issue?

  • Point of clarity: Are you running with AD accounts of via SAML against Azure AD?

  • We dont use SAML nor Azure AD or both.

    We use on-premise Windows AD which the box sits on.

  • OK - just needed to make sure.  Are you getting any connection logs or errors?

  • Error in the GUI : Unable to connect to Information Service. Invalid Username or password

    If I try the "Orion V3 AD" login method (no need to enter password), it gives GUI error as below

    I could not see anything in the log file for this.
