Authentication Is Very Slow on Multiple ONTAP Filers When Local DCs Are Offline
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Active Directory (AD)
- Domain Tunnel
Issue
When local AD Domain Controllers (DCs) in the site are offline (e.g., during Disaster Recovery testing), ONTAP filers experience significant delays in AD authentication. Authentication attempts do not automatically fail over to alternative DCs in other sites, resulting in slow logins and, in some cases, failed access.
