Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Name mapping(win-unix)

Issue

  • A Windows-to-UNIX name mapping rule is configured on an SVM in ONTAP System Manager (e.g., mapping Domain\user-name to unix-name):

ontap918::> name-mapping show
  (vserver name-mapping show)

Vserver:   svm2_ontap918
Direction: win-unix
Position Hostname         IP Address/Mask
-------- ---------------- ----------------
1       -                 -                   Pattern: tse\test1
                                          Replacement: apache

  • But the user is still mapped to the default user pcuser during actual access. The custom rule does not take effect:

::*> diag secd name-mapping show -vserver svm2_ontap918 -node ontap918-01 -direction  win-unix  -name test1

ATTENTION: Mapping of Data ONTAP "admin" users to UNIX user "root" is enabled, but the following information does not reflect this mapping.

'test1' maps to 'pcuser'
