Restoring user mappings
User mappings can be restored using the following procedures.
1. Select the Map Maintenance tab from the User Name Mapping screen.
2. Type the path and name of the file in the File path and name field or click Browse to locate
3. After locating the file, click Restore.
Creating a sample NFS file share
HP recommends performing the following tests to verify that the setup of the shares, user
mappings, and permissions grant the desired access to the NFS shares.
1. Create an NFS share. NFS Shares are All Machines, read-only by default.
2. Create NFS client groups if desired. See "NFS Client Groups" earlier in this chapter.
3. Verify that the NFS share exists.
4. Map a user. When creating Active Directory/Domain mappings, ensure that the NFS

the file.
See "NFS File Shares" earlier in this chapter for information on creating shares.
Use Remote Desktop to log into the NAS server and access the command line interface:
nfsshare <sharename> (sharename represents the name of the share)
Authentication software is installed on the domain controllers that have user name
mappings. See "Installing NFS Authentication Software on the Domain Controllers and
Active Directory Domain Controllers" section. Also, see "User and Group Mappings" in
this chapter for instructions on setting up user name mappings.
When planning to allow only anonymous access to an NFS share, setting up user name
mappings is not necessary.
All Machines read write, then the NTFS ACLs on the NFS share must allow read/write
permissions for the user or group.
Example: f:\share1 is the name of the NFS share and share1 has All Machines read write
permissions. Verify that the NTFS permissions on f:\share1 are List Folder/Read Data,
Create File/Write Data, Create Folders/Append Data, Write Attributes, and Delete
Subfolders and Files. This can be verified by opening up Windows Explorer on the NAS
desktop and right-clicking f:\share1 then clicking Properties. Next, click the Security tab.
Then click Advanced. Highlight the user or group that permissions are being assigned to
then click Edit. There will be check boxes next to the NTFS permissions that are assigned.
Make sure mapped users and groups correlate to the users or groups that have the NTFS
permissions assigned. See the section "Understanding NTFS and UNIX Permissions" in
this chapter for more information.
Use Remote Desktop to log in to the NAS server and access the command line interface:
mapadmin list -all
