NIS Configuration
Network Information Service (NIS) is a name service for centralized management. The
appliance can act as an NIS client for users and groups, so that:
■
NIS users can log in to the FTP and HTTP services.
■
NIS users can be granted privileges for appliance administration. The appliance
supplements NIS information with its own privilege settings.
Note - UIDs and GIDs from 0-99 inclusive are reserved by the operating system vendor for
use in future applications. Their use by end system users or vendors of layered products is not
supported and may cause security related issues with future applications.
To configure NIS, see the following sections:
■

Adding an Appliance Administrator from NIS (BUI)
