Configuring NIS settings
The NIS (network information services), formerly known as Yellow Pages, is a UNIX standard for
centralizing the management of UNIX resources. The NAS server supports the retrieval of user
accounts and their UID/GID from an NIS server.
If the NIS support is enabled, the NAS server can auto-map NIS users with local/domain users. It
matches user names and assigns the UID/GID of the matched NIS users to local/domain users.
The user auto-mapping function provides better and tighter integration between NFS clients and
other network operating systems.
The steps of enabling NIS support are as follows:
1. Check the Enable NIS Support checkbox.
2. The NIS domain name is required. Please fill in the correct name in NIS Domain Name field.
3. If you do not know the IP address of the NIS server, please specify Find by broadcast.
Otherwise, specify the IP address in the fields.
4. After enabling the NIS support, you can auto-map NIS users with local/domain users. In
UNIX/Linux menu, click the Modify icon.
5. Select Map users to UID/GID as defined below to Apply.
6. Click the Auto-map with NIS user’s link to map with the users in the configured NIS server.
