Using LDAP
StorNext supports Light Directory Access Protocol, or LDAP (RFC 2307). This feature allows you to use Active Directory/LDAP for mapping Windows User IDs (SIDs) to UNIX User ID/Group IDs.
Changes to “Nobody” mapping
If a Windows user cannot be mapped to a UNIX ID, the user is mapped to Nobody. StorNext allows administrators to change the value of Nobody by using the file system configuration parameters:
UnixNobodyUidOnWindows 60001UnixNobodyGidOnWindows 60001
These parameters are located in the file system configuration file on the server and can be manually modified by the Windows or StorNext Web GUI.
