Overview

ONTAP home directory functionality can be used to create home directories for SMB users on the CIFS server and automatically offer each user a dynamic share to their home directory without creating an individual SMB share for each user.

The home directory search path is a set of absolute paths from the root of an SVM that directs ONTAP to search for home directories. If there are multiple search paths, ONTAP tries them in the order specified until it finds a valid path. To use the CIFS home directories feature, at least one home directory search path must be added for an SVM.

Examples

Creating a home directory search path

To create a home directory search path, use the following API. Note the return_records=true query parameter used to obtain the newly created entry in the response.

# The API:
POST /api/protocols/cifs/home-directory/search-paths
# The call:
curl -X POST "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/protocols/cifs/home-directory/search-paths?return_records=true" -H "accept: applicaion/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"path\": \"/\", \"svm\": { \"name\": \"vs1\", \"uuid\": \"a41fd873-ecf8-11e8-899d-0050568e9333\" }}"
# The response:
{
  "num_records": 1,
  "records": [
    {
      "svm": {
        "uuid": "a41fd873-ecf8-11e8-899d-0050568e9333",
        "name": "vs1"
      },
    "path": "/"
    }
  ]
}

Retrieving the CIFS home directory search paths configuration for all SVMs in the cluster

# The API:
GET /protocols/cifs/home-directory/search-paths
# The call:
curl -X GET "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/protocols/cifs/home-directory/search-paths?fields=*&return_records=true&return_timeout=15" -H "accept: application/json"
# The response:
{
  "records": [
    {
      "svm": {
        "uuid": "2d96f9aa-f4ce-11e8-b075-0050568e278e",
        "name": "vs1"
      },
      "index": 1,
      "path": "/"
    },
    {
      "svm": {
        "uuid": "2d96f9aa-f4ce-11e8-b075-0050568e278e",
        "name": "vs1"
      },
        "index": 2,
        "path": "/a"
    },
    {
      "svm": {
        "uuid": "4f23449b-f4ce-11e8-b075-0050568e278e",
        "name": "vs2"
      },
      "index": 1,
      "path": "/"
    },
    {
      "svm": {
        "uuid": "4f23449b-f4ce-11e8-b075-0050568e278e",
        "name": "vs2"
      },
      "index": 2,
      "path": "/1"
    }
  ],
  "num_records": 4
}

Retrieving a specific home directory searchpath configuration for an SVM

The configuration returned is identified by the UUID of its SVM and the index (position) in the list of search paths that is searched to find a home directory of a user.

# The API:
GET /api/protocols/home-directory/search-paths/{svm.uuid}/{index}
# The call:
curl -X GET "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/protocols/cifs/home-directory/search-paths/2d96f9aa-f4ce-11e8-b075-0050568e278e/2" -H "accept: application/json"
# The response:
{
  "svm": {
    "uuid": "2d96f9aa-f4ce-11e8-b075-0050568e278e",
    "name": "vs1"
  },
  "index": 2,
  "path": "/a"
}

Reordering a specific home drectory search path in the list

An entry in the home directory search path list can be reordered to a new positin by specifying the 'new_index' field. The reordered configuration is identified by the UUID of its SVM and the index.

# The API:
PATCH /api/protocols/cifs/home-directory/search-paths/{svm.uuid}/{index}
# The call:
curl -X PATCH "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/protocols/cifs/home-directory/search-paths/2d96f9aa-f4ce-11e8-b075-0050568e278e/2?new_index=1" -H "accept: application/json"

Removing a specific home directory search path for an SVM

The entry being removed is identified by the UUID of its SVM and the index.

# The API:
DELETE /api/protocols/cifs/home-directory/search-paths/{svm.uuid}/{index}
# The call:
curl -X DELETE "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/protocols/cifs/home-directory/search-paths/2d96f9aa-f4ce-11e8-b075-0050568e278e/2" -H "accept: application/json"

Classes

class CifsSearchPath (*args, **kwargs)

This is a list of CIFS home directory search paths. When a CIFS client connects to a home directory share, these paths are searched in the order indicated by the position field to find the home directory of the connected CIFS client.

Initialize the instance of the resource.

Any keyword arguments are set on the instance as properties. For example, if the class was named 'MyResource', then this statement would be true:

MyResource(name='foo').name == 'foo'

Args

*args
Each positional argument represents a parent key as used in the URL of the object. That is, each value will be used to fill in a segment of the URL which refers to some parent object. The order of these arguments must match the order they are specified in the URL, from left to right.
**kwargs
each entry will have its key set as an attribute name on the instance and its value will be the value of that attribute.
