  • ONTAP 9
  • CIFS
  • LDAPS

Answer

  • A CIFS only SVM does not need an LDAP client to be configured to set LDAP security and guarantee AD domain integration
  • Integration with the AD domain is part of the CIFS server creation and LDAP session security can be set form ::>cifs server security settings
    • vserver cifs security modify -vserver vserver_name -use-start-tls-for-ad-ldap true
  • An LDAP client is only required if ONTAP needs to collect UNIX credentials -or- name-mappings from a centralized name-service
