Accessing NFS resources for Windows users and groups
Server for NFS allows Windows clients to access NFS resources on the storage server without separately
logging on to Server for NFS. The first time users attempt to access an NFS resource, the Server for
NFS looks up the user’s UNIX UID and GID information in either Windows Active Directory or the
User Name Mapping function on the storage server. If the UNIX UID and GID information is mapped
to a Windows user and group accounts, the Windows names are returned to Server for NFS, which
then uses the Windows user and group names to grant file access. If the UNIX UID and GID information
is not mapped, then Server for NFS will deny file access.
There are two ways to specify how Server for NFS on the storage server obtains Windows user and
group information:
• Using the Windows interface
• Using a command line (nfsadmin.exe)
IMPORTANT:
• Before using Active Directory Lookup, administrators must install and populate the Identity Management
for UNIX Active Directory schema extension, included in Windows Server 2003 R2, or have an equivalent
schema which includes UNIX UID and GID fields.
• The IP address of the User Name Mapping server can be specified instead of the name of the server.
• Before using User Name Mapping, the computer running Server for NFS must be listed in the .maphosts
file on the computer running User Name Mapping. For more information, see “Securing access to the
User Name Mapping server.”
For additional information about accessing NFS resources, see the MSNFS online help. For additional
information about Identity Management for UNIX, see the UNIX Identify Management online help
