ftps & Celerra

We are trying to implement a FTPS server on our Celerra.

Problem being is that we don't want to manage users/groups.  We want our Active Directory to do this.  We have setup internally a ftp server and use all the standard "server_ftp" commands...however just for a few users.

Is there a way for FTPS on Celerra to be controlled by Active Directory users/groups?

Thanks for the help,

Brian

Per FTP documentation:

The CIFS service must be started on a Data Mover to allow CIFS authentication for Windows
FTP users. If a Windows user attempts to log in by using a Windows domain name and
username, and if the CIFS service is not active on the Data Mover, the login fails.

At the FTP login prompt, a user can select either a UNIX username or a Windows domain
and username (in the format domain\username or username@domain). If the user logs in
without a domain name, UNIX authentication is used.

See document attached.

Thanks

Thanks Sebby-

Now, I'm off to research home directories!  I think this might work.  Problem is sometimes we offer temp usernames for FTP users, so I'll have to figure out a good way to update the home directory database on a regular basis....

You might be able to use wildcards with regex in the home directory database.  Here's what we do:

OURDOMAIN:[a-z].*:\home_fs01\home\guests:regex
*:[a-b]:\home_fs01\home\:regex
*:[c-d]:\home_fs02\home\:regex
*:[e-i]:\home_fs03\home\:regex
*:[j-k]:\home_fs04\home\:regex
*:[l-m]:\home_fs05\home\:regex
*:[n-q]:\home_fs06\home\:regex
*:[r-s]:\home_fs07\home\:regex
*:[t-z]:\home_fs08\home\:regex

We pre-create homedirs in our space, then make a space available for guests accounts.  Since we control the account creation process, we force all temp and guest accounts to end in #, i.e. coeguest1, afalguest9, etc.  We don't allow normal user accounts to have numbers.  If your temp accounts are called temp#, this might work.  Be sure to use the Celerra MMC snap-in to validate your regex before using in production!

I need to enable SFTP/ FTP and grand access to the Domain users to a particular CIFS share.

When the user log in to the CIFS server using ftp, the user should see the cifs share.

Please help..
