Local Users and Groups

Chapter 3 User & Group Management 45

• When the server automatically generates UIDs or GIDs for imported Windows

domain users or groups, UIDs or GIDs that are already in use by local and NIS

users will be skipped.

• When NIS domain users and groups are imported, the SnapServer will discard

any that are less than 101 or are in conflict with UIDs already in use by local or

Windows domain users and groups.

The NIS user ID ‘nobody’ (UID 65534) is reserved. It is not mappable to another ID,

nor is another ID mappable to ‘nobody’.

GuardianOS offers ID Mapping, which allows mapping of Windows users to local

or NIS users to provide unified permission assignments to users of different

protocols. For more information on ID Mapping, please see “ID Mapping” on page

102.

Local Users and Groups

Local users or groups are created using the Security > Local Users and Security >

Local Groups

screens in the Administration Tool. Local users and groups are used

for administrative and guest access to the server. Windows Workgroup, Macintosh,

and FTP clients initially access the server using the guest account. If you require a

higher degree of control over individual access to the file system for these clients,

you must create local accounts (or, in the case of Windows, use Windows NT

domain or Active Directory security).

Guidelines for Local Authentication

Duplicating Client Login Credentials for Local Users and Groups

To simplify user access for Windows Workgroup or Macintosh clients, duplicate

their login credentials on the SnapServer. That is, create local accounts on the

SnapServer that match those used to log into client workstations. This strategy

allows users to bypass the login procedure when accessing the SnapServer.

Caution This strategy applies only to local users. Do not use duplicate domain user

Default Local Users and Groups

The default local users and groups (see “Default User and Group Settings” on page

44) cannot be modified or deleted. Default users and groups admin, guest, and

admingrp appear on the list of users or groups on the User or Group Management

screens, but they cannot be deleted or modified. As you would expect, the default

local users and groups do appear on the Share Access and Quotas screens.
