Why each option
In NetApp ONTAP Cluster-Mode, the secd process is the security daemon responsible for handling NFS and CIFS client authentication and access.
accessd is not a recognized ONTAP daemon; no such process handles NFS/CIFS client access in Cluster-Mode.
accd is not a standard ONTAP process name involved in NFS or CIFS client authentication.
securityd is not the correct ONTAP process name; the actual security daemon is named secd.
secd is the ONTAP security daemon that manages all aspects of client authentication and authorization for NFS and CIFS, including name mapping, LDAP/AD lookups, and group membership resolution. It acts as the central process for validating client credentials before granting data access.
mgwd is a management gateway daemon handling cluster management traffic, not NFS/CIFS client authentication.
sysd is a system-level daemon and has no role in NFS or CIFS client access processing.
cached is not an ONTAP process responsible for NFS/CIFS client access or authentication.
