How to configure NFSv4 in ONTAP?

Hello. I'm trying to make up nfsv4,
There are two types of documents in the link above: the Set NFSv4 on ONTAP 9 using a local file method and the Enable NFSv4 in ONTAP 9 using Active Directory LDAP method,
We tested it with the Set NFSv4 on ONTAP 9 using a local file method, and all users other than the user-mapped users are connected to the volume.
Do I really need ldap to use nfsv4?

- Local Users are simpler to set up but are less flexible and scalable, suited for smaller environments.

- Active Directory LDAP method requires more initial configuration but provide a centralized, scalable, and consistent way to manage users, making them suitable for larger, more complex environments.

Choosing between Local file and AD LDAP depends on the size of your environment, the need for centralized management, and the complexity of your user base.
