What’s New in HP CIFS Server A.02.02
HP CIFS Server A.02.02 provides the following new enhancements and
changes:
idmap_rid Support
The idmap_rid facility with winbind provides a unique mapping of
Windows SID to local UNIX UID and GID mappings. This facility uses
the RID of the user SID to generate the UID and GID by adding the RID
number to a configurable base value. Since the RIDs are allocated by the
centrally managed Windows Domain Controller, this tool permits the
CIFS winbind daemons to generate unique HP-UX UIDs and GIDs
across the domain. It can be used for synchronization of mappings across
multiple CIFS servers without an LDAP directory.
You can use idmap_rid in the Windows NT domain, or Windows
2000/2003 ADS domain, but it cannot be used in Windows trusted
domains. For detailed information, refer to “idmap_rid with Winbind
Support” section in the HP CIFS Server 3.0d Administrator’s Guide
version A.02.02.
Publishing Printers Support
Publishing printers makes HP CIFS Server printers searchable in an
Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 ADS domain. If a Windows client is a
domain member of the ADS domain, that client can search for the printer
and install the printer driver. The net ads printer command can be
used for publishing printers support on an HP CIFS Server. For detailed
information on how to set up and configure the HP CIFS Server to use
this feature, refer to “Publishing Printers in an MS Windows 2000/2003
Domain” section in the HP CIFS Server 3.0d Administrators’ Guide
version A.02.02.
Configuration Parameter Changes
New configuration parameters have been introduced in HP CIFS Server
A.02.02. Also, some parameters used in versions A02.01.* have been
changed in default behavior or obsoleted in version A.02.02.
