Changing default security style

Changing to CIFS-compatible security styles

If you upgraded from Data ONTAP 5.0 or earlier, every volume and qtree (formerly quota tree) has a default security style of UNIX, which permits only UNIX-style permissions.

Security styles

To enable NTFS-style file security on one or more volumes, you can change the security style of the volumes you want to one of the following styles:

• mixed, which allows both UNIX-style and Windows NT-style permissions.
• ntfs, which allows only Windows NT-style permissions.

  ---

  Note: If you have only one volume, that volume is also the root volume.

Changing the root volume security style

To change the security style of the root volume to mixed, use the following command:

qtree security /vol/vol0/ mixed

The default name of the root volume is /vol/vol0, and you must put a slash after the name of the root volume.

For additional information about security styles, volumes, and qtrees, refer to the Data ONTAP System Administrator's Guide.
