Setting ACLs Or SLPs On A CIFS Share
The first time a CIFS share is created, the owner of the share must be changed before setting any ACLs or attempting to
access this share. If the NAS cluster solution is joined to an Active Directory domain, the following methods can be used
for setting ACLs:
•
Using an Active Directory domain account that has its primary group set as the Domain Admins group.
•
Mapping a network drive to the CIFS share where ACLs are intended to be set.
Using An Active Directory Account Set As The Domain Administrators Group
To use an Active Directory domain account that has its primary group set as the Domain Admins group:
Mapping A Network Drive To The CIFS Share
To map a network drive to the CIFS share where ACLs are intended to be set:
1.
Select Connect using a different user name.
When prompted, use the following credentials:
<NetBios Name>\Administrator
By default, the NetBios name is CIFSStorage. If it has not been changed, enter, CIFSStorage
\Administrator.
NOTE: You can change the NetBios name in the NAS Manager by navigating to Cluster Management →
Authentication → System Identity.
2.
Follow the previous set of instructions to set the owner of the CIFS share to either a domain admin user account or
the Domain Admins group.
3.
After the owner is set, unmap the network drive.
4.
Remap the network drive using an account that is a part of the domain administrators user group that ownership
was set to previously. Follow Microsoft best practices and assign ACL permissions to users and groups
accordingly.
If the NAS service is not joined to an Active Directory domain, the built-in CIFS administrator account
Administrator
must be used to set any ACLs. To define SLPs, use MMC.
NOTE: Do not attempt to create a CIFS share using Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
