Dell PowerStore Configuring Multiprotocol File Sharing

After you create a NAS server, you can optionally use a customized user-mapping file (ntxmap) to map one or more Windows user accounts to one or more UNIX user accounts, or one or more UNIX user accounts to one or more Windows user accounts (both directions are valid). Customizing the user-mapping file allows you to provide file system access when:

• A Windows user account does not have a corresponding UNIX user account.
• The file system access policy is Windows, and a UNIX user account does not have a corresponding Windows user account.
• A Windows user account and a UNIX user account exist, but use different naming rules. UNIX user accounts are case-sensitive.

The user-mapping file supports the use of wildcards and substitution sequences.

To use a customized user-mapping file, select Storage > NAS Servers > [NAS server] > Naming Services > Local Files and download the Ntxmap file template. After downloading, customize the file, and upload it to the system.
