Configuring Explicit User NFS Maps

User and Group mapping lets you create inter-platform and cross-platform maps among

Microsoft Windows and UNIX user and group accounts, even when the user and group

names in both environments are not identical.

User and Group mapping also lets you set up one-to-one inter-platform and

cross-platform mappings among Windows and UNIX users and groups. For example, a

Windows user name could be mapped to a UNIX user name, or a UNIX group could be

mapped to one or more Windows user accounts. Explicit user maps can also be used when

the same person has different user names on Windows and UNIX accounts. Using the

Explicit User Maps option lets you maintain a single mapping database for the entire

enterprise.

To create explicit user NFS maps

1. On the primary navigation bar, choose Shares.

2. Choose Sharing Protocols.

3. Select NFS Protocol, and then choose Properties.

4. Choose User and Group Mappings.

5. Fill out the General tab, making sure you have either supplied a NIS Domain or

PCNFS passwd and group files.

NOTE
