Storing user and group accounts
To set idmap_backend to rid
- If the server is running, enter the following:
CIFS> server stop
- To store information about user and group accounts locally, enter the following:
CIFS> set idmap_backend rid [uid_range]
where uid_range represents the range of identifiers that are used by Access Appliance when mapping domain users and groups to local users and groups. The default range is 10000-1000000.
- To start the CIFS server, enter the following:
CIFS> server start
To set idmap_backend to LDAP
- To make sure that you have first configured LDAP, enter the following:
Network> ldap show
- If the CIFS server is running, enter the following:
CIFS> server stop
- To use the remote LDAP store for information about the user and group accounts, enter the following:
CIFS> set idmap_backend ldap [idmap_ou]
where idmap_ou represents the CIFS idmap Organizational Unit Name (OU) configured on the LDAP server, which is used by Access Appliance when mapping users and groups to local users and groups. The default value is cifsidmap.
- To start the CIFS server, enter the following:
CIFS> server start
To set idmap_backend to a hash algorithm
- If the CIFS server is running, enter the following:
CIFS> server stop
- To store information about user and group accounts locally, enter the following:
CIFS> set idmap_backend hash
- To start the CIFS server, enter the following:
CIFS> server start
To set idmap_backend to ad
- If the CIFS server is running, enter the following:
CIFS> server stop
- To obtain the unique UID/GID from domains by reading ID mappings from an Active Directory (AD) server, enter the following:
CIFS> set idmap_backend ad [uid_range]
where uid_range represents the range of identifiers that are used by Access Appliance when mapping domain users and groups to local users and groups. The default range is 10000-1000000. Change it in cases where there are more than 1,000,000 users existing on a local Access Appliance cluster where there are joined Active Directory domains or trusted domains.
Note:
The uid_range is adjusted automatically according to the search results of the defined UNIX IDs from the domain after a CIFS server restart.
- To start the CIFS server, enter the following:
CIFS> server start
