Configuring the NFS client for ID mapping for NFS version 4
For NFS version 4, you must configure the NFS client so that the NFS version 4 user strings can be mapped to the uids. You must also configure the NFS server.
To configure the NFS client for ID mapping
- For proper ID mapping, set the Domain field in the
/etc/idmapd.conffile as the DNS domain name of the NFS client. Make sure that the DNS domain is the same for the NFS client and the Access Appliance server.This setting in the
/etc/idmapd.conffile should be updated on the NFS client. - Clear the ID mapping cache on the NFS client using the command nfsidmap -c and restart the ID mapping service.
