To configure Local Users authentication from the CLI, use the following command:
ibrix_auth -N [-h HOSTLIST]
To configure Active Directory authentication, use the following command:
ibrix_auth -n DOMAIN_NAME –A AUTH_PROXY_USER_NAME@domain_name [-P AUTH_PROXY_PASSWORD]
[-S SETTINGLIST] [-h HOSTLIST]
RFC2307 is the protocol that enables Linux static user mapping with Active Directory. To enable
RFC2307 support from the CLI, use the following command:
ibrix_cifsconfig -t [-S SETTINGLIST] [-h HOSTLIST]
Enable RFC2307 in the SETTINGLIST as follows:
rfc2307_support=rfc2307
For example:
ibrix_cifsconfig -t -S "rfc2307_support=rfc2307"
To disable RFC2307, set rfc2307_support to unprovisioned. For example:
ibrix_cifsconfig -t -S "rfc2307_support=unprovisioned"
IMPORTANT: After making configuration changes with the ibrix_cifsconfig -t -S
command, use the following command to restart the CIFS services on all nodes affected by the
change.
ibrix_server –s –t cifs –c restart [–h SERVERLIST]
Clients will experience a temporary interruption in service during the restart.
Configuring local groups and local users
If you selected Local Users as the authentication method, you will need to configure local user and
local group accounts. Create a local user account for each user that will be accessing CIFS, FTP,
or HTTP shares, and create at least one local group account for the users. The account information
is stored internally in the cluster.
When naming local groups and users, you should be aware of the following:
• User and group names must be unique. The new name cannot already be used by another
user or group.
• The following names cannot be used for users or groups: administrator, guest, root.
Configuring local group accounts
Local group accounts can be managed from the management console GUI or CLI. On the GUI,
select Cluster Configuration > Local Groups from the Navigator. The Local Groups panel shows
the local groups that are currently configured.
