Dell PowerStore Configuring Multiprotocol File Sharing

PDF

Enable multiprotocol file sharing on an existing SMB-enabled NAS server

About this task

The following considerations apply to enabling multiprotocol file sharing on an existing SMB-enabled NAS server:
  • When you configure multiprotocol, all existing file systems are enabled with the native security access policy. With this policy, Windows security is used for both NFS and SMB access to the files. This policy uses a Native Windows credential for all protocols and enforces only the SMB ACL for all protocols. Also, the system automatically updates the ownership of all files with UNIX UID information. The update process can take time, but data remains accessible. If required, you can change this access policy.
  • Clients with incorrect mappings receive an Access denied message until the mapping configuration is correct.

Steps

  1. Select Storage > NAS Servers.
  2. Select the relevant NAS server and then select the Naming Services tab.
  3. Configure one of the following directory services:
    • NIS
    • LDAP
    • Local files
    • Local files and NIS or LDAP

    You can configure LDAP to use anonymous, simple, and Kerberos authentication. You can also configure LDAP with SSL (LDAP Secure) and can enforce the use of a Certificate Authority certificate for authentication.

  4. Select the User Mapping tab and configure the search order. The directory services that you configured earlier are selectable in the drop-down menu.
  5. In the User Mapping tab, set the mapping mode for unmapped users. If you want automatic UID assignments, enable the Enable automatic mapping for unmapped Windows accounts/users. Another option is to enable Enable default account for unmapped users, in which case specify default Windows and Unix accounts.
