Description

Name-mapping is used to map CIFS users to UNIX users and vice versa as part of user authentication

Note: Name mapping is required for all CIFS/NFS access except for NFS access to UNIX security style volumes

  • Name-mappings are rules (as regular expressions(RegEx)) which are interpreted by the authentication system during login to resolve your identity and gather the credentials you need to access your files

Note: Kerberos mappings are only necessary if using a Kerberized NFS UNIX client
