Chapter 2 NAS Head 2-99
on the Windows Domain Controllers. Note that changing a user’s RID in the
StorEdge administration interface is not possible. Modifying the value collected from
the Domain Controller will simply invalidate the mapping.
On the right side of the screen, you will see the NFS username, which may or may
not have been automatically generated based on the defined mapping rule.
Option “7” refreshes the list of mappings, adding any new users.
Option “8” will allow you to manually add a mapping, but this is rarely used, as the
RID information is relatively difficult to retrieve from the Domain Controllers. Since
the RID is retrieved automatically from each user that logs in, it’s easier to edit the
mappings after they’ve been collected.
6. To edit the mappings, select the letter corresponding to the user information. Then
select option “1”, “Edit fields”. This will display user mapping options as follows:
■ NT User (or group)
■ Account: This is the Windows user (or group) account in <domain\username>
(or group name) format.
■ RID: This is the Windows RID as described above. Usually this is left as is, as
this can only be truly changed from the Windows Domain controller.
■ UNIX User (or group)
■ Account: This is the NFS user account name. Changes here will only be saved
locally.
■ ID: This is the NFS UID (or GID). This is where the changes are made to effect
mapping.
You can also select option “8” to delete the mapping. This is useful if you have
recently changed the mapping rule, as deleted mappings will be remapped
according to the current mapping rule the next time this user connect to the
StorEdge.
This functionality is also available through the StorEdge Web Admin.
1. To use the Web Admin, connect with a Web browser to http://<hostname or IP
address of your StorEdge>.
2. Click “Grant” or “Yes” to accept any Java software authorization windows and
you will reach the login screen.
3. Type the administrator password to access the administration interface.
4. Navigate to Windows Configuration/Manage SMB CIFS Mapping/Configure
maps. All of the options described above are available. Double click user entries
to edit them.
It is not recommended to edit the map files directly, as the StorEdge must be
rebooted immediately in order for changes to take effect.
