Dell PowerStore Configuring Multiprotocol File Sharing

PDF

UNIX Directory Services and local files

UNIX Directory Services (UDSs) and local files are used to do the following:

  • Return the corresponding UNIX account name for a particular User Identifier (UID).
  • Return the corresponding UID and primary Group Identifier (GID) for a particular UNIX account name.

The supported services are:

  • LDAP
  • NIS
  • Local files
  • None (the only possible mapping is through the default user).

There must be a UDS enabled or local files enabled, or both local files and a UDS enabled for the NAS server when multiprotocol sharing is enabled. The UDS search order determines which is used for user mapping.
