na_ontap_cifs_server does not expose -advertised-enc-types #343

Description

@j-k-y

Summary

We need to remove RC4/DES from the valid advertised encryption types to kerberos. Our Active Directory have these protocols explicitly disabled.

This can be modified in ONTAP CLI with "vserver cifs security modify -vserver XXX -advertised-enc-types aes-256,aes-128".

"advertised-enc-types" currently is not implemented in the "na_ontap_cifs_server" module.

I tried to workaround with REST CLI command, but it fails for an existing CIFS server because the CLI is requesting interactive user and password credentials to modify the Active Directory computer account. This is another problem.

  • name: Set Kerberos advertised encryption types to AES only
    netapp.ontap.na_ontap_rest_cli:
    hostname: "{{ netapp_hostname }}"
    username: "{{ netapp_username }}"
    password: "{{ netapp_password }}"

    command: "vserver/cifs/security"
    verb: "PATCH"
    params:
    vserver: "{{ item.vserver }}"
    body:
    advertised_enc_types: "{{ item.advertised_enc_types }}"
    loop: "{{ cifs_servers }}"

Error: {'message': 'I order to update the advertised encryption types, the password for the CIFS server machine account must be reset. Enter the username and password for the CIFS domain "XXXXX".', 'code': '656474'}"}
