NTLM vs Kerberos authentication mechanism CIFS sessions on 7-mode

[jessango]

Hello.

We're trying to adapt our environment to work with Kerberos authentication and we know of to check the authentication mechanism being used for CIFS sessions on ONTAP but not for 7-mode. 

The command to check for the authentication mechanism in ONTAP that we are using is:

cifs session show -fields auth-mechanism

Is there any equivalent command for 7-mode to check the authentication mechanism being used for the current CIFS sessions?

Thanks in advance for your help.

For 7-Mode, there is no equivalent command available. You can use packet capture to discern client authentication mechanism.
