Modifying the Group Map File
The group map file contains an entry for each unique Windows primary
group that is associated with the Windows users that access the NetStorage
6000 when it is configured to use user-level security. The format for the
group map file is:
<UNIX groupname>:<GID>:<NT groupname>:<NT
domain>:<NT RID>
The GID value that is assigned to the Windows clients’ primary group is
one number larger than the largest group map or group NIS file starting
with number 65537. The default UNIX groupname is the GID value
prefixed with a lower case u.
When a Windows client attaches to the NetStorage 6000 for the first time
this group map file is consulted along with the group mapping strategy that
has been selected. For example, if you have selected group mapping by
name, when a UNIX client attaches with an identical UNIX and Windows
group name, the UNIX group information is used instead of the default
group information discussed above.
To modify an entry in the group map file:
1 Using the NetStorage web interface, click the Configuration tab, then
select User Mapping > Group Map File. The current group map file is
displayed.
2
Click Modify Map. The UNIX group name and UNIX GID values are
displayed and can be edited. The Windows Group Name, Windows
Domain, and Windows RID values are displayed for informational
purposes only and cannot be changed.

Once you have completed your modifications, click Apply to return to
the User Map File page. You do not need to restart the system.
To delete an existing map file entry:
1
Using the NetStorage web interface, click the Configuration tab, then
select User Mapping > Group Map File. The current group map file is
displayed.
2 Click Delete Map. You receive confirmation that the selected group has
been deleted.
