Does changing the Username on AD impact AES encryption enabled on Shares
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Kerberos
- AD
- AES Encryption
- CIFS
Answer
- Changing the username or password in Active Directory (AD) will not affect the Shares with AES encryption enabled.
- This is because the encryption process in AES does not rely on the AD user.
- User credentials are solely utilized for authentication during the initial enablement of AES encryption on the Share.
