NetApp FAS/Data ONTAP public key authentification with CIFS/NFS license

Well as the title says, sadly we bought our FAS6210 without CIFS/NFS license. Thus, in order to create the folder structure/add the authorized_keys file, you’ll have to work for your money a little bit.

First, you need to run cifs setup / cifs passwd somewhere. I did it on our Data ONTAP simulator, which comes in handy for things like that.

You’ll get a cryptic looking password (no clue which format that is), looking like this: _OnWddr)xa.
