na_usermap.cfg - mappings between UNIX and Windows NT
accounts and users
/etc/usermap.cfg
The usermap.cfg file explicitly maps Windows NT users to
the correct UNIX account and UNIX users to the correct
Windows NT account. Each line in /etc/usermap.cfg has the
format:
[ IP-qual: ] [ NT-domain \] NTUser [ direction ] [ IP_qual:
] UnixUser
Lines are processed sequentially.
The following table describes the variables in the
usermap.cfg file description.
-
IP-qual
- An IP qualifier that the filer uses to
match a user. You use an IP qualifier to
narrow a match. IP-qual can be a regular
IP address, a host name, a network name, or
a network name with a subnet specified in
dot notation.
-
NT-domain
- Specifies the domain to match or the domain
to use for a mapped UNIX account. The
default is the domain in which the filer is
installed.
-
NTUser
- Any user-type account name. If the name
contains a space, put the name in quotation
marks.
-
direction
- Restricts the direction of the mapping. By
default, mappings are bidirectional. The
three valid direction symbols are as follows:
"=>" means NT to UNIX mapping only;
"<=" means UNIX to NT mapping only; "=="
means bidirectional mapping (use this to
explicitly indicate a bidirectional mapping).
The usermap.cfg file format uses the following symbol conventions.
An asterisk (*) matches any name. The null
string ("") matches no name and rejects any user. You can
use either spaces or tabs as separators.
Windows NT names are case-insensitive and can contain nonASCII
characters within the character set in the current
code page. Windows NT user names can contain spaces, in
which case you must enclose the name in quotation marks.
UNIX user names are case-sensitive and must be in ASCII.
This manpage is not encyclopedic. Please refer to online
documentation and the System Administrator's Guide for
further information.
The following usermap.cfg file ...
"Bob Garg" == bobg
mktg\Roy => nobody
engr\Tom => ""
uguest <= *
*\root => ""
maps NT user Bob Garg to UNIX user bobg and vice versa,
allows mktg\Roy to login, but only with the privileges of
UNIX user nobody,
disallows login by NT user engr\Tom,
maps all other UNIX names to NT user uguest,
and disallows NT logins using the name root from all
domains.
