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,
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 domain controller, or Microsoft Windows Server 2012 domain
controller)
• User Name Mapping (UNM) server
• Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)
For more information on NFS share, see topic Creating The NFS Share .
