Configuring a Client and Enabling Remote Authentication If you configured your Gateway Server machines so that users can issue the dfs_login command to authenticate to DCE, perform the steps in this section to configure your NFS clients. The steps enable both DFS access and DCE authentication from an NFS client. Users can authenticate via either the dfsgw add command or the dfs_login command. To provide users of an NFS client with access to both DFS and the dfs_login command, perform the following steps on the client: 1 If you have not already done so, perform all of the steps in "Configuring a Client Without Enabling Remote Authentication" to mount /.... on the machine. 2 If you have not already done so, log in as the local root user on the machine. 3 Install the binary files for the dfs_login and dfs_logout commands in the directory /usr/bin on the machine.

# mkdir /...
# mount

Create a symbolic link from /
/:
to the root of the DFS filespace for the host
DCE cell,
/.../
cellname
/fs
. In the command,
cellname
is the name of the DCE
cell to be accessed from the NFS client (the cell in which the machine that
exports
/...
. is configured as a DFS client).
# ln -s /.../
cellname
/fs /:
4
Verify that the NFS mount of DCE was successful by using the
ls
command
to list the contents of
/:
, which leads to the root directory of the DFS filespace.
The command should yield the same output from the NFS client that it does
from a DFS client of the DCE cell.
# ls /:
The NFS client is now configured to provide access to DFS but not to allow
users of the client to authenticate to DCE with the
dfs_login
command.
Repeat these steps on each NFS client to be configured in this manner.
Should you later decide to allow users to authenticate to DCE from the NFS
client, simply perform the steps in “Configuring a Client and Enabling
Remote Authentication” on the client.
Configuring a Client and Enabling Remote Authentication
If you configured your Gateway Server machines so that users can issue the
dfs_login
command to authenticate to DCE, perform the steps in this section
to configure your NFS clients. The steps enable both DFS access and DCE
authentication from an NFS client. Users can authenticate via either the
dfsgw add
command or the
dfs_login
command.
To provide users of an NFS client with access to both DFS and the
dfs_login
command, perform the following steps on the client:
1
If you have not already done so
, perform all of the steps in “Configuring a
Client Without Enabling Remote Authentication” to mount
/...
. on the
machine.
2
If you have not already done so
, log in as the local
root
user on the machine.
3
Install the binary files for the
dfs_login
and
dfs_logout
commands in the
directory
/usr/bin
on the machine. These commands provide the following
functionality:
