Authorizing Appropriate Access To The ADS LDS Namespace Object

To connect to the Configuration partition:

1.

Click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and click Run as administrator to open an elevated command prompt.

2.

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

3.

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.

Configuring The Mapping Source

To configure the mapping source:

1.

Click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and click Run as administrator to open an elevated command prompt.

2.

Run the following command, where

<Computer>

is the name of the computer where the AD LDS instance was

created, and where

<Port>

is the port that the AD LDS instance uses:

nfsadmin mapping config adlookup=yes addomain=<Computer>:<Port>

NOTE: For this example, use the following:
nfsadmin mapping config adlookup=yes addomain=server1:389

3.

Test the setup by accessing the NFS resources and verifying that the user and group account mappings work as

expected.

Debug Notes For NFS Account Mapping Problems

Server for NFS can be made to log account mapping failures to the Windows Event Log service by setting the following
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\nfsserver\Parameters

\VerboseMappingFailureLogging INVALID USE OF SYMBOLS REG_DWORD = 1

After you create the key, you must restart the Server for NFS.

Restarting The Server For NFS

1.

Click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and click Run as administrator to open an elevated command prompt.
