Setting the correct logon name

To avoid VOB and view access permission problems, you must configure the NFS client to log on using user and group names on Linux® and the UNIX® system that match your Windows® user and primary group names.

About this task

To verify that matching user and group names exist, pass the name of an NFS server host to ccase-home-dir\etc\utils\credmap. In this example, user NT_WEST\akp who is a member of the domain group clearusers has matching user (akp) and group (clearusers) accounts on the host that is running Linux or the UNIX system, saturn:

ccase-home-dir\etc\utils\credmap saturn
Identity on local system:
   User: NT_WEST\akp (NT:S-1-3-21-108034363-97353062-1565875335-1402)
   Primary group: NT_WEST\clearusers
(NT:S-1-3-21-108034363-981762062-1565875335-1044)
.
.
.
Identity on host "saturn":
   User SID: LINUX:UID-2270
   Primary group SID: LINUX:GID-88
.
.
.

If the user or group ID returned by credmap has a negative value, the target host running Linux or the UNIX system cannot find a matching user or group name on Linux or the UNIX system for the Windows user who is currently logged on. For more information, see Common user and group names.
