Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • CIFS

Answer

Yes, it does.

  • CIFS access is based on SID
  • Renaming domain group does not change domain group SID.
  • Group name is cached on ONTAP
  • Updating the cached information by timeout also updates the group name on ONTAP automatically.
  • To force an immediate update, clear the cache as described below.
    1. set advanced
    2. cifs cache sid-to-name delete-all -vserver <vserver>
