Administrator Guide

For UNIX and Windows NT User Name Mapping, an NIS Server must already exist in the UNIX environment, or UNIX user and
group files must exist on the PowerVault NAS system. User Name Mapping associates UNIX users and groups to Windows NT
users and groups. You can use two types of maps, simple and explicit. Simple maps define a one-to-one relationship between
the same user names and groups. Explicit maps define a relationship between dissimilar user names and groups.
Workgroup
In the workgroup scenario, you configure User Name Mapping locally on the NAS system. All maps are contained on this
system.
Domain
In the domain scenario, you configure NFS Authentication on all domain controllers. The NT Authentication Service installation
program must be installed on the domain controller and available in the DomainUtils share on the NAS system.
To install the NT Authentication Service on a domain controller, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the domain controller as an administrator.
2. Map the NAS system's DomainUtils share.
3. Run sfucustom.msi, which is located in the Services for Unix directory.
Filename Character Translation
Although Windows and UNIX file systems do not allow certain characters in filenames, the characters that are prohibited by
each operating system are not the same. For example, a valid Windows filename can not contain a colon (:), but a UNIX
filename can. If a UNIX user attempts to create a file in an NFS share and that file contains an illegal character in its name,
the attempt will fail.
You can use filename character translation to replace characters that are not allowed in a file system by mapping them to
characters that are valid. To enable filename character translation, create a text file that maps Windows to UNIX characters,
and then modify the registry entry that specifies the path and name of the translation file.
The filename character translation text file is a list of mapped characters in the following format, such as the following:
0xnn : 0xnn [ ; comment ]
where nn is the hexadecimal value of the character
The entry for a map from the UNIX character ":" to the Windows character "-" in the filename character translation text is as
follows:
0x3a : 0x2d ; Map ':' (0x3a) to '-' (0x2d)
To map the character combination "()" to the character "^", add the following entry:
0x28 0x29 : 0x5e ; Map '()' to '^'
To specify the path and name of the filename character translation text file for Server for NFS to use, modify the following
registry key to contain the path and filename of the character translation file:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Server for NFS\CurrentVersion\Mapping\CharacterTranslation
File Server for Macintosh
File Server for Macintosh (FSM) provides the tools needed to integrate Macintosh and Windows networks by leveraging
existing Macintosh network resource and expertise. FSM is disabled by default on the NAS system. See "Enabling the
AppleTalk Protocol" for information about enabling FSM.
