CIFS/NFS share

Hi Guys

          i have a cifs nfs share created and almost working, i basically need to map one unix user to an ad account so that user can access the share (it will be the only user needed) and wriet etc to it.

Is there a manual way to map a user on the nx4 instead of setting up a new mapping solution ?

Any help is appreciated :-)

See the multi-protocol and user mapping manuals

Hi Rainer

i have read through the doc but its a complicated issue

i want to use usermapper so i have just changed the policy to mixed

i then did the nas_fs -translate

on the CIFS side i can see the unix user and i have given them full control- do you see any issue with that ?

thanks

Yes, multi-protocol and user mapping is more complicated than single protocol

I’m afraid there is no fast path without learning and actual hands-on

The relationship between user mapping and access policies isn’t that simple.

If its just one Unix user and you don’t care about the security you could map that user ID to root on the NFS client – Linux should be able to do that.

Then you can stay with native access policy and treat it like a single protocol system

You might need to clear old entries in the secmap for that account

Could be uppercase vs lowercase

You only get an entry if that account has connected

Check the ordering of user mapping methods
