Phase 2 scripts

Phase 2 scripts are located in the c:\hpnas\components\ADLDS folder. You create NFS mappings
for users and groups by running the nfs-adlds-config.js script. This script takes as inputs a standard
UNIX password file and a standard UNIX group file. For each user or group in these files a Windows
user or group account is created if one does not already exist. Next, the script examines the UNIX
password file to extract the User ID and Group ID of each user. From these, a mapping is created on
the Windows system that associates the User ID and Group ID with the UNIX account that has the
same User ID and Group ID. Similarly, the script examines the UNIX group file, extracts the Group
ID, and forms a mapping on the Windows system that associates the Group ID with the UNIX group
having the same ID. This mapping is what allows directories and files to be accessed from either the
Windows NFS server or the UNIX NFS client using the same User ID and Group ID.
The nfs-adlds-config.js script will also add Windows users to the appropriate Windows groups for
the newly created user and group accounts. It does this by examining the relationships between users
and groups in the password and group files that were given as inputs to the script.
Password and Group file syntax
You can create the password and group files yourself or copy them from the NFS client at /etc/passwd
and /etc/group.
Each line of a standard UNIX password file follows this format:
user:password:UID:GID:comment:home directory:command shell
All fields are required, but the only fields that are used are the user, UID, and GID fields. If you are
creating these files yourself, you may want to leave the other fields blank.
