4. Set the gidNumber and sAMAccountName attributes for the new group object.

NOTE: The gidNumber is the GID of the UNIX group that is being mapped, and
sAMAccountName must match the name of a local group on the Windows-based computer
that is running Server for NFS. If, after selecting the More Attributes button, the uidNumber and
gidNumber do not appear, close and open the ADSI Edit MMC.

5. Click OK, and click Finish to exit the wizard.

Authorizing Appropriate Access To The ADS LDS

Namespace Object

To connect to the Configuration partition:

1.

Press the Windows logo key on the keyboard.

2. Type CMD.

Command Prompt application is displayed.

3. Right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as administrator to open an elevated command

prompt.

4. Navigate to the C:\WINDOWS\ADAM directory, and run the dsacls command to grant the Everyone

group read access to the mapping data store as follows:
dsacls "\\server1:389\CN=nfsadldsinstance,dc=server1" /G everyone:GR /I:T

5. Optionally, if you are setting up a shared AD LDS store to allow multiple NFS servers to query the

account mapping database, add the mapping data store to the ACL to allow Read permissions for the

Anonymous Logon account as follows:
dsacls "\\server1:389\CN=nfsadldsinstance,dc=server1" /G "anonymous

logon":GR /I:T

NOTE: You can skip this step if there is no shared access between computers to the mapping
data store.
