Name Mapping window

You can use the Name Mapping window to specify the name mapping entries to map users from different platforms. If an Infinite Volume supports both NFSv4.1 ACLs and SMB, you can also configure group mappings.

Name Mappings

You can create and use name mappings to map your UNIX users to Windows users, Windows users to UNIX users, or Kerberos users to UNIX users.
