Mac Users: Accessing Storage through CIFS/SMB
Mac users who have a user profile can access any shares to which they have
privileges on the NSS storage using CIFS/SMB.
To access the NSS storage via CIFS/SMB:
STEP 1 From the Finder’s Go menu, click Connect to Server.
STEP 2 Enter "smb://<hostname or IP address of the NSS>/<sharename>. (Where the
information in the brackets is meant to be replaced with the applicable
information. Do not type the brackets.)
STEP 3 Click the "+" sign to save the NSS address to the Favorite Servers list so that the
next time you log in you just need to select the address from the list.
STEP 4 Click Connect.
STEP 5 When the Login window appears, enter your username and password. If your user
profile is set up locally (that is, through the NSS configuration interface and not
through the ADS or NTv4 domain) and the NSS is joined to a domain, you need to
enter the following: <NSS hostname>\<user name>. If the NSS is not joined to a
domain, just enter the username/password.
STEP 6 Depending on your privileges to the share, you can begin using the NSS storage.
