Fujitsu ETERNUS CS800 - NFS Protocol

Active Directory Support
The ETERNUS CS800 supports ADS (Active Directory Services) as well as ACLs (Access
Control Lists). This provides the following benefits:
l Compatibility with CIFS domains - NAS shares are able to join CIFS domains and
use domain authentication.
l Precise control of file system permissions - Administrators can specify which users
and groups can perform what actions.
l Robust administrative support - Administrators have the same implicit permissions as
they do in Windows operating systems.
Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2, and Windows 2012 R2 are supported for Active
Directory domain membership.
When you create a CIFS share, the initial permissions are the same as the default
permissions for a Windows 2003 share with the addition of an ACE (Access Control
Entry) that permits full access to the share for all authenticated users. Administrators
can choose to remove this full access ACE, set up custom permissions, or leave the
ACL (Access Control List) as is if the server is set up in a fully trusted environment.
2.8.4 NFS Protocol
The NFS (Network File System) protocol allows network users to access shared files stored
on computers of different types. NFS provides access to shared files through an interface
called the Virtual File System (VFS) that runs on top of TCP/IP. With NFS, computers
connected to a network operate as clients while accessing remote files, and as servers while
providing remote users access to local shared files. This protocol is used with UNIX and
Linux networks. It can also be used with Windows networks.
