To select a mapping strategy:
1 Using the NetStorage web interface, click the Configuration tab, then
select User Mapping > Mapping Strategy.
2 Select a User Mapping strategy. The possible choices are:
• No Mapping — No automatic mapping between UNIX NIS
accounts and Windows accounts occurs. Any mapping between
accounts must be done by editing the user map file for each account.
• User Name Mapping — If the Windows and UNIX usernames from
the NIS files are identical, then a mapping association is
automatically created in the user map file.
• Full Name Mapping — If the Windows full name field and the
UNIX comment field in the NIS file, are identical then a mapping
association is automatically created in the user map file.
3 Select a Group Mapping strategy. The possible choices are:
• No Mapping — No automatic mapping between a UNIX NIS group
file and Windows primary group account occurs. Any mapping
between group accounts must be done by editing the group map file
for each account.
• Group Name Mapping — If the primary Windows group account
and the UNIX NIS group account names are identical then a mapping
association is automatically created in the group map file.
4 Click Apply when you are satisfied with your mapping choices.
