5. Under Computer, select the Select or type a domain or server option, and type the server name and port number
into the text box, separated by a colon (for example, localhost:389).
6. Click OK.
ADSI Edit refreshes to display the new connection.
7. In the resulting tree, under the Default naming context node, right-click the partition name, point to New, and click
Object.
NOTE: For this example, under the Default naming context [localhost:389], select the following properties:
CN=nfsadldsinstance, DC=server1.
8. In the Create Object dialog box, select the Container class, and click Next.
9. In the Value text box, type Users, and click Next.
This value specifies the name of the container object that is used to hold your user account mappings.
10. Click Finish.
Adding User Account Maps
To add user account maps:
1. In ADSI Edit, expand the Default naming context node, and expand the partition name.
2. Right-click CN=Users, point to New, and click Object.
3. In the Create Object dialog box, select the User class, and click Next.
4. In the Value text box, type the user’s name, and click Next.
NOTE: The user’s name is not associated with the Windows or UNIX user, and can be a random entry.
5. Click the More Attributes button to edit the uidNumber, gidNumber, and sAMAccountName attributes of this user
account.
NOTE: The uidNumber and gidNumber represent the UID and GID of the UNIX user who is being mapped, and
sAMAccountName must match the name of a local Windows user on the computer that is running Server for NFS.
If, after selecting the More Attributes button, the uidNumber and gidNumber do not appear, close and open the
ADSI Edit MMC.
6. Click OK.
Adding Group Account Maps
To add group account maps:
1. In ADSI Edit, expand the Default naming context node, and expand the partition name.
2. Right-click CN=Users, point to New, and click Object.
3. In the Create Object dialog box, select the Group class, and click Next.
4. Ensure that the group object’s name matches the name of the group account for which group account mapping is
desired.
5. Set the gidNumber and sAMAccountName attributes for the new group object.
NOTE: The gidNumber is the GID of the UNIX group that is being mapped, and sAMAccountName must match the
name of a local group on the Windows-based computer that is running Server for NFS. If, after selecting the More
Attributes button, the uidNumber and gidNumber do not appear, close and open the ADSI Edit MMC.
6. Click OK, and click Finish to exit the wizard.
