User Name Mapping
The User Name Mapping component provides c entralized user mapping services for Server for NFS and
Client for NFS. User Name Mapping lets yo u create maps between Windows and U N IX user and group
accounts even though the user and group names in both environments may not be identical. User
Name Mapping lets you maintain a single mapping database making it easier to configure account
mapping for multiple computers running MSNFS.
In addition to one-to-one mapping between Windows and UNIX user and group accounts, User Name
Mapping permits one-to-many mapping. This lets you associate multiple Windows accounts with a single
UNIX account. This can be useful, for example, when you do not need to m aintain separate UNIX
accounts for individuals and would rather use a few accounts to provide different classes of access
permission.
You can use simple maps, which map Windows and UNIX accounts with identical names. You can also
create advanced maps to associate Windows and UNIX accounts with different names, which you can
use in conjunction with simple maps.
User Name Mapping can obtain UNIX user, password, and group information from one or more Network
Information Service (NIS) servers or from password and group files located on a local hard drive. The
password and group files can be copied from a UNIX host or from a NIS server.
User Name Mapping periodically refreshes its mapping database from the source databases, ensuring
that it is always kept up-to-date as changes occur in the Windows and UNIX name spaces. You can also
refresh the database anytime you know the source databases have changed.
