Setting the correct logon name

To avoid VOB and view access permission problems, you must configure the NFS client to log on using user and group names on Linux and the UNIX system that match your Windows user and primary group names.

About this task

To verify that matching user and group names exist, pass the name of an NFS server host to ccase-home-dir\etc\utils\credmap. In this example, user NT_WEST\akp who is a member of the domain group clearusers has matching user (akp) and group (clearusers) accounts on the host that is running Linux or the UNIX system, saturn:

ccase-home-dir\etc\utils\credmap saturn
Identity on local system:
   User: NT_WEST\akp (NT:S-1-3-21-108034363-97353062-1565875335-1402)
   Primary group: NT_WEST\clearusers
(NT:S-1-3-21-108034363-981762062-1565875335-1044)
.
.
.
Identity on host "saturn":
   User SID: LINUX:UID-2270
   Primary group SID: LINUX:GID-88
.
.
.

If the user or group ID returned by credmap has a negative value, the target host running Linux or the UNIX system cannot find a matching user or group name on Linux or the UNIX system for the Windows user who is currently logged on. For more information, see Common user and group names.
