Chapter 3 User & Group Management Authentication validates a user's identity by requiring the user to provide a registered login name and corresponding password. Snap Servers ship with predefined local users and groups that allow administrative and guest user access to the server via all protocols. Administrators may choose to join the Snap Server to a Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Active Directory domain, and Windows clients can then authenticate to the server using their domain credentials. To accommodate NFS clients, the Snap Server can also join an NIS domain, and the Snap Server can look up user and group IDs maintained by the domain. For authentication control beyond the guest account, Macintosh and FTP client login credentials can be duplicated locally on the sever. Topics in User and Group Configuration: • Default User and Group Settings • UID and GID Assignments • Local Users and Groups • Windows Workgroup or Domain • NIS Domain Default User and Group Settings Snap Server default security configuration provides one share to the entire volume. All network protocols for the share are enabled, and all users are granted read-write permission to the share via the guest account. UID and GID Assignments The Snap Server uses the POSIX standard to assign user IDs (UID) and group IDs (GID), in which each user and group must have a unique ID. This requirement applies to all users and groups on the Snap Server, including local, NIS, and Windows users and groups. If you join the Snap Server to a Windows domain, unique IDs are automatically assigned. If you join the Snap Server to an NIS domain, consider the following Snap Server Administrator Guide 23
