Dell PowerStore Configuring Multiprotocol File Sharing

PDF

Automatic mapping for Windows users

When you modify NAS server sharing protocols, you can optionally direct the system to automatically generate a UNIX UID for each Windows user that is not already mapped to a UNIX account through a directory service (LDAP or NIS) or local files.

NOTE:Use automatic mapping only when it is not important which UID is assigned to which user.

This option is available when a default UNIX user is not configured, and it is intended for multiprotocol configurations where most users are Windows users. Using this option allows for the retention of file system quotas for each unmapped Windows user (file system quotas are based on the UNIX UID). The automatically generated UNIX UIDs are in the reserved range of 0x80000001 to 0x803FFFFF.

NOTE:If a default UNIX user is configured, you cannot enable automatic mapping for Windows users.
