CIFS clients see an SID rather than the unix owner name in Windows Explorer
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Windows CIFS client
- Unix security-style volume / qtree
Issue
- The file / directory owner does not show a friendly name, instead showing an SID (example:
S-1-5-21-2302652893-3333899112-259180168-321
) - This only impacts access to volumes or qtrees with a security-style of unix, or mixed with an effective security-style of unix on the affected directories / files
- Depending on the situation, this may be only cosmetic, but could also cause permission issues
