Will disabling a vserver SSL certificate impact CIFS shares in ONTAP 9?

Applies to

• ONTAP 9
• SSL certificates
• CIFS

Answer

• The normal procedure as described in How to renew a Self-Signed SSL certificate in ONTAP 9 does not have an impact on CIFS shares.
• But the AntiVirus software for NetApp storage systems will not be able to discover data LIFs when no SSL certificate is enabled.
• For detailed information please refer the KB: Is there any impact on the environment using the ONTAP Antivirus Connector when recreating the certificate
