NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, Specialist — Question 26

An administrator has an existing FlexVol accessed by Linux hosts over NFSv3. A CIFS share to the same FlexVol was created for SMB access. Windows users are unable to view the share. CIFS share permissions allow for read and write access for the Windows users.
What does the administrator need to modify to allow SMB access?

Answer options

• A. Junction paths
• B. Export policies
• C. Security style
• D. User mapping

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, User mapping, because it ensures that Windows users are correctly authenticated and recognized by the CIFS share. The other options, such as junction paths, export policies, and security style, do not directly address the issue of user authentication and access control for SMB users.
