NIS Domain

NIS Domain
NIS domains are configured on the
Network > NIS
screen of the Administration Tool.
The SnapServer can join an NIS domain and function as an NIS client. It can then
read the users and groups maintained by the NIS domain. Thus, you must use the
NIS server to make modifications. Changes you make on the NIS server do not
immediately appear on the SnapServer; it may take up to 10 minutes for changes to
be replicated.
Guidelines for Configuring NIS
Handling UID/GID Assignments
Unless UID/GID assignments are properly handled, NIS users and groups may fail
to display properly. For guidelines on integrating compatible SnapServer UIDs, see
“UID and GID Assignments” on page 44.
NIS identifies users by UID, not user name, and although it is possible to have
duplicate user names, Overland Storage does not support this configuration.
