Services For UNIX MMC Console
SFU UNIX includes a single MMC for managing all of SFU. The MMC provides a cohesive
management interface that lets you administer all systems on the network from any
console. Further, since SFU supports the Windows Management Interface (WMI),
management can be scripted from the command line.
ActiveState ActivePerl 5.6
SFU includes ActiveState's ActivePerl 5.6, a full-featured port of Perl 5.6 and Perl Script to
Windows Powered operating systems. Among other improvements, ActivePerl 5.6 includes
support for fork() emulation at the interpreter level, improving the portability of scripts
and modules. ActivePerl also provides full support for the Windows Script Host, making
ActivePerl an excellent tool for system administration tasks.
User Name Mapping
User Name Mapping provides mapping of names between the UNIX and Windows
environments. You can perform User Name Mapping either from SFU or by clicking on
NFS on the Services page of the NAS Manager.
With User Name Mapping, you can create simple maps between Windows Powered user
accounts and corresponding UNIX accounts. You can also use the Advanced Map feature to
map accounts with dissimilar names. Given that UNIX user names are case-sensitive, while
Windows Powered operating system names are not, the use of User Name Mapping can
greatly simplify maintaining and managing accounts in the two environments. User Name
Mapping uses NIS to authenticate users. Also, User Name Mapping supports bidirectional
one-to-many mapping, allowing you to map a single UNIX or Windows Powered operating
system account to multiple accounts in the other environment. For example, you can map
more than one administrative account in a Windows Powered operating system to the
UNIX root account.
In SFU, the Username Mapping Service and NT Authentication Service can be installed
from the NAS appliance’s share, DomainUtils.
