Description
NOTE:
If you use NFS secure with a custom realm, you have to upload a keytab file.
7.
Select
Retrieve Current Schema
to download the ldap.conf file.
8.
Edit and save the
ldap.conf
file.
9.
Select
Upload New Schema
to upload the updated
ldap.conf
file.
10.
Optionally, enable LDAP Secure (Use SSL), and upload the CA certificate.
To troubleshoot issues with configuring a UDS using LDAP, ensure that:
●
The LDAP configuration adheres to one of the supported schemas, as described earlier in this topic.
●
The containers that are specified in the
ldap.conf
file hover over containers that are valid and exist.
●
Each LDAP user is configured with a unique UID.
Configure NAS server to use local files for naming services
You can configure your naming services to use local files.
●
Local files can be used instead of, or also with DNS, LDAP, and NIS directory services.
●
If you configure local files with a UNIX Directory Service (UDS), the storage system queries the local files first.
●
After you finish creating the NFS server, you can go back and upload more local files.
●
Once the NAS server is created, enable the local files as described in the following steps:
1.
Select
Storage
>
NAS Servers
>
[nas server]
>
Naming Services
>
Local Files
.
2.
For each type of local file, select the down arrow to download the current file. If there is no file on the storage system, the
system downloads a file template.
3.
Update the file with your system information.
To use local files for FTP access, the
passwd
file must include an encrypted password for the users. This password is
used for FTP access only. The
passwd
file uses the same format and syntax as a standard UNIX system, so you can
apply the password to generate the local
passwd
file. On a UNIX system, use
useradd
to add a user and
passwd
to set
the password for that user. Then, copy the hashed password from the
/etc/shadow
file, add it to the second field in
the
/etc/passwd
file, and upload the
/etc/passwd
file to the NAS server.
4.
Save the updated file to your local machine.
5.
Select
Upload Local Files
and browse to the location of the file you edited and select the file to upload.
6.
Repeat for each type of file.
To troubleshoot issues with configuring local files, ensure that:
●
The file is created with the proper syntax. (Six colons are required for each line.) Reference the template for more details
about the syntax and examples.
●
Each user has a unique name and UID.
Configure NAS server Sharing Protocols
You can configure or modify the sharing protocols that are configured for a NAS server.
Configuring sharing protocols for NFS includes setting up one or more of the following:
●
NFS Server
●
FTP
Configure NFS Server
Configure the NAS server for UNIX-only systems, or modify the NFS server settings.
DNS and NTP must be configured before configuring a Secure NFS server.
