Set SSH home directory creation options

You can configure home directory support for a user who accesses the cluster through SSH by specifying authentication provider options.

1. Run the following command to view settings for an Active Directory authentication provider on the cluster:

   isi auth ads list

   The system displays output similar to the following example:

   Name                 Authentication Status DC Name Site  
   ---------------------------------------------------------
   YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME.COM Yes            online -       SEA
   ---------------------------------------------------------
   Total: 1

2. Run the isi auth ads modify command with the --home-directory-template and --create-home-directory options.

   isi auth ads modify YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME.COM \
   --home-directory-template=/ifs/home/ADS/%D/%U \
   --create-home-directory=yes

3. Run the isi auth ads view command with the --verbose option.
   The system displays output similar to the following example:

                       Name: YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME.COM
             NetBIOS Domain: YOUR
             ...
      Create Home Directory: Yes
    Home Directory Template: /ifs/home/ADS/%D/%U
                Login Shell: /bin/sh

4. Run the id command.
   The system displays output similar to the following example:

   uid=1000008(<your-domain>\user_100) gid=1000000(<your-domain>\domain users) 
   groups=1000000(<your-domain>\domain users),1000024(<your-domain>\c1t),1545(Users)

5. Optional: To verify this information from an external UNIX node, run the ssh command from an external UNIX node.
   For example, the following command would create /ifs/home/ADS/<your-domain>/user_100 if it did not previously exist:

   ssh <your-domain>\\user_100@cluster.powerscale.com
