Managing Local Users For CIFS And NFS Access

  • NOTE: Skip this section if your site is configured with an external NIS/LDAP database.

After local users are configured, they can access the cluster even when an external NIS, LDAP, or Active Directory is introduced.

For local users, access to the file system is determined by volumes, shares, and exports.

To allow the NAS cluster solution to use local user definitions:

  1. Select Cluster Management > Authentication > Identity Management Database. The Identity Management Database page is displayed.
  2. Select Users are not defined in an external user database .
  3. For CIFS users, select Cluster Management > Protocols > CIFS Configuration . The CIFS Protocol Configuration page is displayed.
  4. Select the mode that is used to authenticate the user’s identity. You can select:
    • Authenticate users' identity via Active Directory and local users database
    • Authenticate users' identity via local users database
  5. To manage the Local Users list, select Cluster Management > Authentication > Local Users.
