Navigating to the Windows File System Control Parameters pane > Authentication tab gives the
administrator the ability to disable the NIS/PCNFSD mapping on a client by client basis by checking LDAP.
Domain Server Requirements
The domain server must be at least Windows 2000 or above to support RFC 2307 mapping.
Client Requirements
Mapping is done by searching the domain server that the Windows machine is a member of. The user must
be logged in under the user account owned by that domain server. If the user logs in under an account of
the client machine or another domain, the user will most likely not have a mapping.
Failover Xsan to/from non-Xsan
There is a known deficiency when failing over from a non-Xsan meta-data server (FSM) to Xsan server and
visa versa. On failover (possibly requiring a Windows client reboot), the SID to UID mapping will change if
the fabrication configurations are different. Therefore, when Xsan is involved, explicitly set the configuration
file parameter UnixIdFabricationOnWindows to be the same value on all potential meta-data servers.
Changes to Windows Configuration Tools
• Fields in Configuration Files - The Windows configuration tools add more fields to the .cfg file.
The Configuration Administrator now includes all fields when the .cfg file is saved.
• The Use Strict Feature Has Been Removed - When using the File System Control
Parameters, note that the Use Strict capability has been removed from the Authentication tab.
