Modifying the User Map File
The user map file contains an entry for each unique Windows client that
attaches to the HP NetStorage 6000 while the device is configured to use
user-level security. The format of the file entry is:
<UNIX username>:<UID>:<NT username>:<NT domain>:<NT RID>
The UID value that is assigned to the Windows client is one number larger
than the largest UID value in the users map or users NIS file starting with
number 65537. The default UNIX username is the UID value prefixed with
a lower case u.
When a new Windows client attaches to the HP NetStorage 6000 this file
is consulted along with the mapping strategy that you have selected. For
example, if you have selected User Name mapping, when a UNIX client
attaches with the an identical UNIX and Windows username the UNIX
client information is used instead of the default information discussed
above.
By reviewing the user map file you see that the UNIX usernames, UIDs and
Window client information is associated with the file security for each
protocol.

1
Using the NetStorage web interface, click the Configuration tab, then

the User Map File page. You do not need to restart the system.
