How to immediately make effective, changes in group/user authentication in ONTAP
Applies to
- ONTAP 9.x
- ONTAP System Manager 9.x
Description
- When making changes on group/user authentication, for example moving a user from one group to another, the change is not immediately effective in System Manager and ONTAP.
- The reason is that the user credentials are cached, in the so called
groupauth.cache
for a default of 30 mins period. - This article describes how you can workaround this according to your needs.
