vserver services name-service unix-group load-from-uri

Description​

The vserver services name-service unix-group load-from-uri command loads UNIX groups from a universal resource identifier (URI). The URI must contain group information in the UNIX /etc/group format:

group_name:password:group_ID:comma_separated_list_of_users

The command discards the value of the password field.

Parameters​

-vserver <vserver> - Vserver

Use this parameter to specify the Vserver on which to locate the local UNIX groups.

-uri {(ftp|http)://(hostname|IPv4 Address|'['IPv6 Address']')...} - URI to Load From

Use this parameter to specify the URI from which the command loads group information.

[-overwrite {true|false}] - Overwrite Entries

Use this parameter with the value true to specify that group information loaded from the URI should overwrite existing group information. The default value is false, specifying that group information loaded from the URI should not overwrite existing group information.

[-skip-name-validation {true|false}] - Skip Name Validation

By default, Data ONTAP validates the name to ensure it complies with the following rules:

• The name contains only valid characters: 0 through 9, A through Z, a through z, "_", ".", and "-"

• The name does not start with "-"

• The name does not contain "$" except as the last character

If the parameter is set to true, the name validation is skipped.

[-foreground {true|false}] - Load Unix Groups file in the Foreground

If this parameter is set to false, the operation runs as a job in the background. Otherwise, the command does not return until the operation is complete. The default value is true.
