Synopsis

versionvault-home-dir etc\utils\credmap remote-host

Description

Use the credmap utility to verify that your Windows® user and group assignments match those on the UNIX® or Linux® side. credmap returns the following values:

  • The Windows® username and the primary group name used by VersionVault
  • The UNIX® or Linux® user ID and primary group ID

A mismatch returns a UNIX® or Linux® user ID or primary group ID of -2; in this case, do the following:

  1. Run the id command on the UNIX® or Linux® host to determine the correct UNIX® or Linux® user and group IDs.
  2. Make the proper adjustment to either the UNIX® or Linux® user account information or the Windows NT security account information.
Note: Mismatches can also occur in the group ID list; to prevent permission problems, the group list for Windows NT users should include all groups known to the UNIX® or Linux® VOBs.

For more information, see the Help.

Restrictions

None.

Options and arguments

remote-host
UNIX® or Linux® host running the NFS daemon or authentication server.

Examples

  • Check Windows® user anne's user and group IDs against their counterparts on UNIX® or Linux® host saturn:

    c:\Program Files\HCL\CCM\VersionVault> etc\utils\credmap saturn
    Identity on local Windows NT system:
      User: anne (0x1003f2)
      Primary group: user (0x1003ff)
      Groups:
        Administrators (0x20220)
        Domain Users (0x100201)

    Identity on host "saturn":
      User ID: 1149 (0x47d)
      Primary group ID: 20 (0x14)
      Group ID list:
        -2 (0xfffffffe)
        

    Run the id command on a UNIX® or Linux® system to verify that the UNIX® or Linux® user ID and primary group ID values correspond to UNIX® or Linux® user anne and group user:

    % id
    uid=1149(anne) gid=20(user)
