Issue

Request to provide a way to prevent the EMS logs to be flooded with those messages in a situation when it is expected:

ERROR    secd.cifsAuth.denied: vserver (svm01) Cannot authenticate CIFS user. Error: User authentication procedure failed


Scenario: Changing authentication method, e. g. from NTLMv2 to Kerberos, where clients need to reconnect

Suggestions on how this could be achieved:

  • temporarily suppress the EMS logging of secd.cifsAuth.denied events
  • temporarily lower the severity to "INFO"
