You can configure a default user to use if all other mapping attempts fail for a user, or if you do not want to map individual users between UNIX and Windows. Alternatively, if you want authentication of non-mapped users to fail, you should not configure a default user.

About this task

For CIFS authentication, if you do not want to map each Windows user to an individual UNIX user, you can instead specify a default UNIX user.

For NFS authentication, if you do not want to map each UNIX user to an individual Windows user, you can instead specify a default Windows user.

Steps

  1. Perform one of the following actions:

    If you want to…​ Enter the following command…​

    Configure the default UNIX user

    vserver cifs options modify -default-unix-user user_name

    Configure the default Windows user

    vserver nfs modify -default-win-user user_name
