NFS Share
Network File System (NFS) protocol provides access control (for UNIX-based file systems) and is implemented by
granting permissions to specific client systems and groups, using network names.
Before creating the NFS share, the administrator must configure Identity Mapping. The identity mapping source can be
any one of the following:
•
Microsoft Active Directory domain name server (Microsoft Windows Server 2003 domain controller or Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller)
•
User Name Mapping (UNM) server
•
Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)
For more information on NFS share, see topic
