Network File System (NFS) protocol provides access control (for UNIX-based file systems) and is implemented by granting
permissions to specific client systems and groups, by using network names.
Before creating NFS shares, the administrator must configure Identity Mapping. The identity mapping source can be any one of
the following:
● Microsoft Active Directory domain name server (Microsoft Windows Server 2003 domain controller, Microsoft Windows
Server 2008 domain controller, or Microsoft Windows Server 2012 domain controller and Microsoft Windows Server 2016
domain controller)
● User Name Mapping (UNM) server
