Planning for protocol data security
It is recommended to adhere to the following best practices when you plan to set up data security:
- When Windows clients use SMB 3.0, always configure SMB share with smb encrypt = mandatory.
- Avoid clients who use SMB 2.1 from accessing SMB data.
- Always enforce to use UNC with NetBIOS name of the cluster to access SMB data.
- To ensure NFSV4 encryption, use an authentication method that is configured with Kerberos.
