You used to have to enable "plaintextpasswords" on all the windows clients without a domain.

I am not sure if NetApp changed that or not (I think they may have, but that may also have been in 7.2.x)

Hello,

I am running Ontap 7.1.2.1 with CIFS, and trying to figure out a way to
authenticate users locally using the Filer. I only manage 5-10, so I don't
want to use an external Active Directory or NIS.

I have followed http://www.netapp.com/library/tr/3358.pdf (CIFS File
Services in a DMZ Environment), but couldn't make it work.

I have configured authentication mode to Workstation: WinNT, and remove the
default user mapping of Unix to Win and Win to Unix. I have also created a
new group  (using useradmin tool) with a "none" role and added a user to
this group. All authentication requests from a Win2003 or WinXP, using the
local user have failed.

Have anyone setup a Filer to work in a similar configuration ? What am I
missing ?

Thanks.
