Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • CIFS

Answer

Yes, the password for accounts used in name mapping can be changed without affecting ONTAP

Additional Information

  • ONTAP does not keep password hashes for accounts that are the replacement for name mappings
  • Name mappings just define what account to use when using multi-protocol access to files
