Cross-Platform Issues in Authentication

Cross-Platform Issues in Authentication
Consider the issues raised in this section when choosing and implementing
authentication methods in your environment.
Macintosh and FTP Access
Macintosh clients can access the server using the Guest account; FTP clients can
access the server using the anonymous account. For more granular control over
Macintosh and FTP access, administrators must create local user accounts for
Macintosh and FTP users.
Features and Restrictions on Different Types Of Authentication
The following table summarizes the features and restrictions among local,
Windows domain, and NIS domain users on the Snap Server.
UIDs, GIDs, and Domain Authentication
The Snap Server is based on the Linux operating system and uses the POSIX
standard system to assign user IDs (UID) and group IDs (GID). In the POSIX
system, each user and group must have a unique UID. This requirement applies to
all users and groups on the Snap Server, including local, NIS, and Windows users
and groups. If you join the Snap Server to a Windows domain, unique IDs are
automatically assigned. If you join the Snap Server to an NIS domain, be aware that
the Snap Server does not recognize users or groups that are present on the NIS
domain who have identification numbers outside of a specific range. The exact
range is available in the online help of the Administration Tool. Navigate to the
Security > UNIX NIS
screen, click the Help button, and then click data sheet.
