User & Group Management
Authentication validates a user’s identity by requiring the user to provide a
registered login name and corresponding password. SnapServers ship with
predefined local users and groups that allow administrative and guest user
access to the server via all protocols. Administrators may choose to join the
SnapServer to a traditional Windows NT or Active Directory domain, and
Windows clients can then authenticate to the server using their domain
credentials. To accommodate NFS clients, the SnapServer can also join an
NIS domain, and the SnapServer can look up user and group IDs
maintained by the domain. For authentication control beyond the guest
account, Macintosh and FTP client login credentials can be created locally
on the sever.
Topics in User and Group Configuration:
• Default User and Group Settings
• UID and GID Assignments
• Local Users and Groups
• NIS Domain
