Add-NcFileDirectorySecurityPolicyTask fails after cDOT upgrade from 8.2 to 8.3

Below command works fine on cDOT 8.2 clusters but fails after upgrade to 8.3

PS C:\Users\jdoe> Add-NcFileDirectorySecurityPolicyTask -Name abc_10000_1005_dacl_pl -Path /abc_10000_1005 -SecurityT
yp ntfs -NtfsSecurityDescriptor abc_10000_1005_sd -VserverContext nasv0001

SecurityPolicyTask

We use above command from WFA 2.2 to set file level permissions on volume and qtrees.

Any suggestion to address this issue would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

This looks like a bug. # 868233.

Will update this thread with more details tomorrow.

This is a known issue, and has been fixed in toolkit version 3.2.1.

Download the 3.2.1 version and use it.

I am also seeing this with ONTAP 8.2.3 and Toolkit version 3.2.1 which is supposed to fix this. Here is the error:

Add-NcFileDirectorySecurityPolicyTask -Name $policygroup -Path $JunctionPath -NtfsMode propagate -NtfsSecurityDescriptor $securitydescriptor -SecurityType ntfs -VserverContext $VserverName

Add-NcFileDirectorySecurityPolicyTask : Invalid value specified for "ntfs-sd" element within "file-directory-security-policy-task-add": " ".
