6.1.6 NFS Guest Access
Because of the way that NFS shares operate, users do not log in with a specific username, so there is no specific ‘guest
access’ option, but there is still a way to ensure that all users that access the NFS share have the same permissions. To do
so, follow these steps:
1. When creating the NFS share, in the ‘Mapall User’ and ‘Mapall Group’ sections, select ‘nobody’.
2. Modify the permissions of the filesystem to which your NFS share is pointed. Guest access can only be configured on
a filesystem because the ownership of the pool cannot be changed for security reasons. Click on the ‘Storage’ tab
at the top of the screen, then click on the appropriate filesystem. At the bottom of the screen, click on the ‘Change
Permissions’ icon (a stack of disks with a black key at the top), then in the window that opens select ‘nobody’ as
‘Owner (user)’ and as ‘Owner (group)’. Click ‘Change’ to apply these modifications.
6.2 CONNECTING TO SHARES
Once you have created the shares that you would like to use (AFP, NFS, or CIFS), the client computers connected to the
network will need to access these shares. Depending on the operating system that each computer is running and the type
of share, the connection process may vary.
6.2.1 Connecting to AFP Shares (Mac only)
Select ‘Finder’ either by clicking the Finder icon in your dock or by clicking on the desktop. Then, open up the ‘Connect to
Server’ window by clicking the ‘Go’ menu in the menu bar at the top of the screen and then selecting ‘Connect to Server’.
You can also open this window using the keyboard shortcut K.
In the ‘Connect to Server’ window, enter ‘afp://’, followed by the IP address of the Jupiter Callisto. Click the ‘Connect’
button to connect to the AFP share. You will be prompted with a login screen, at which point you will either enter the
appropriate user credentials or log in as a guest if you have set up guest access.
6.2.2 Connecting to CIFS Shares on a Mac
Select ‘Finder’ either by clicking the Finder icon in your dock or by clicking on the desktop. Then, open up the ‘Connect to
Server’ window by clicking the ‘Go’ menu in the menu bar at the top of the screen and then selecting ‘Connect to Server’.
You can also open this window using the keyboard shortcut K.
In the ‘Connect to Server’ window, enter ‘smb://’, followed by the IP address of the Jupiter Callisto. Click the ‘Connect’
button to connect to the CIFS share. You will be prompted with a login screen, at which point you will either enter the
appropriate user credentials or log in as a guest if you have set up guest access.
6.2.3 Connecting to CIFS Shares in Windows
Open an Explorer window, then right-click on ‘Computer’ and select ‘Map network drive...’ In the next window, select a
drive letter to assign to the share, then in the ‘Folder’ section, follow the formula: \\[IP address of Callisto]\[name of your
CIFS share]
For example, if the IP address of your Callisto is 192.168.0.115 and you created a CIFS share named ‘callisto’, then you would
enter the following: \\192.168.0.115\callisto
6.2.4 Connecting to an NFS share on a Mac
Select ‘Finder’ either by clicking the Finder icon in your dock or by clicking on the desktop. Then, open up the ‘Connect to
Server’ window by clicking the ‘Go’ menu in the menu bar at the top of the screen and then selecting ‘Connect to Server’.
You can also open this window using the keyboard shortcut K.
In the ‘Connect to Server’ window, enter ‘nfs://’, followed by the complete file path of the nfs share on the Jupiter Callisto,
including the IP address. For example, if the IP address of your Callisto is 192.168.0.115 and the path to your shared filesystem
is /mnt/pool/callisto, then the complete address that you will enter is:
nfs://192.168.0.115/mnt/pool/callisto
Click the ‘Connect’ button to connect to the NFS share. The share will mount as a network folder.
