is not mapped to a Windows account is treated by Server for NFS as an anonymous user. By default,
the user identifier (UID) and group identifier (GID) is -2.
For example, if files are created on an NFS Share by UNIX users who are not mapped to Windows
users, the owner of those files are listed as anonymous user and anonymous group, (-2,-2).
By default, Server for NFS does not allow anonymous users to access a shared directory. When an
NFS share is created, the anonymous access option can be added to the NFS share. The values can
be changed from the default anonymous UID and GID values to the UID and GID of any valid UNIX
user and group accounts.
NOTE:
In Windows Server 2003, the Everyone group does not include anonymous users by default.
When allowing anonymous access to an NFS Share, the following must be performed by a user with
administrative privileges due to Windows Storage Server 2003 security with anonymous users and
the Everyone group.
1.
Click Remote Desktop. Log on to the storage system.
2.
Click Start >Control Panel > Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.
3.
In Security Settings, double-click Local Policies, and then click Security Options.
4.
Right-click Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users, and then click
Properties.
5.
To allow permissions applied to the Everyone group to apply to anonymous users, click Enabled.
The default is Disabled.
6.
Restart the NFS server service. From a command prompt, enter net stop nfssvc. Then enter
net start nfssvc. Notify users before restarting the NFS service.
7.
Assign the Everyone group the appropriate permissions on the NFS Share.
8.
Enable anonymous access to the share.
To enable anonymous access to an NFS share:
1.
Open Windows Explorer by clicking Start > Run, and entering Explorer.
2.
Navigate to the NFS share.
3.
Right-click the NFS Share, and then click Properties.
4.
Click NFS Sharing.
