Managing Local Users

You can create local users that can access CIFS shares and NFS exports, or that will become a FluidFS cluster administrator. You might want to create local users in the following cases:

•You do not have remote users (AD/LDAP/NIS)

•Both CIFS/NFS will be used, but you have a remote user repository (AD/LDAP/NIS) relevant for only one protocol and a small number of users using the other protocol

When prompted to authenticate to access a CIFS share, local users must use the following format for the user name:

<client_VIP_or_name>\<local_user_name>
