Managing Local Users
You can create local users that can access SMB shares and NFS exports, or that will become a FluidFS cluster administrator. You
might want to create local users in the following cases:
• You do not have remote users (AD/LDAP/NIS)
• Both SMB/NFS will be used, but you have a remote user repository (AD/LDAP/NIS) relevant for only one protocol and a small
number of users using the other protocol
When prompted to authenticate to access an SMB share, local users must use the following format for the user name:
<client_VIP_or_name>\<local_user_name>.
