I tried to simply change type from nfs to nfs4 in the fstab in the client. Unfortunately I then get the response

There is nothing in the server logs about this. And it is not the firewall, because even when I turned it off, I get the same access denied.
Anything else I have to change?
My exportfs is very simple, just /path/to/export client(rw)
I haven't used CentOS7 for several years, so I was ignoring this thread in the hope others could answer.
My not very trustworthy memory is that "/etc/exports" on the server needs the "insecure" option for NFS4 to work, see: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3773891 for explanation and some diagnostic tests. My take on diagnostics is:
I modified the options from (rw) to (rw,sync,no_root_squash,insecure) and after that I finally could mount it in version 4. I've tested earlier to add the insecure option, but I'm not sure if I then remembered to restart nfs after the changes or not. Or if it is in the combination with the other options that made it possible.
Thanks for all the help /Jerome
