Dell PowerStore Configuring Multiprotocol File Sharing

PDF

Using local files

Local password and group files can be used to resolve IDs and usernames. The passwd file uses the same format and syntax as UNIX-based operating systems, so an existing file from a host could also be leveraged for the NAS server.

The relevant items for the NAS server are the username, hashed password (used for FTP authentication), UID, and primary GID. The rest of the items in the passwd file can remain empty.

To troubleshoot issues with configuring local files, ensure that:

  • The file is created with the proper syntax (six colons are required for each line). See the template for more details.
  • Each user has a unique name and UID.
