Configuring Identity Mapping (BUI)
Identity Mapping Configuration
Identity mapping allows you to associate Windows and UNIX identities, thereby allowing an
SMB client and an NFS client access to the same set of files. The identity mapping service
manages Windows and UNIX user identities simultaneously by creating and maintaining a
database of mappings between UNIX user identifiers (UIDs) and group identifiers (GIDs), and
Windows security identifiers (SIDs).
To manage identity mapping, use these tasks:
■
Configuring Identity Mapping - BUI, CLI
■
Creating a Mapping Rule - BUI, CLI
■
“Viewing a Mapping (BUI)” on page 305
■
Flushing Mappings from the Cache - BUI, CLI
To understand identity mapping, use these topics:
■
“Identity Mapping Best Practices” on page 307
■
“Identity Mapping Concepts” on page 308
■
“Cached and Ephemeral Mappings” on page 309
■
“Identity Mapping Case Sensitivity” on page 309
■
“Mapping Rule Directional Symbols” on page 310
