Administrator Guide
NFS share
Network File System (NFS) protocol provides access control (for UNIX-based le systems) and is implemented by granting permissions to
specic client systems and groups, by using network names.
Before creating NFS shares, the administrator must congure 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
• Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)
For more information about NFS share, see topic Creating The NFS Share in this document.
