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
