The following tools are either new or enhanced to manage NSS AD Support in OES 2015 or later. A brief description of the NSS AD functionality follows each tool name.
Auditing Client Logger (VLOG): Audit all file operations of AD users. For more information, see OES 2018 SP3: NSS Auditing Client Logger (VLOG) Utility Reference.
iManager: Use the Storage plug-in to manage AD support on NSS pools and volumes.
NOTE:iManager cannot be used to manage AD users and groups or their trustee rights on NSS resources.
For more information, see iManager and Storage-Related Plug-Ins
in the OES 2018 SP3: NSS File System Administration Guide for Linux.
metamig: Save and restore NSS file system trustee, user quota, and directory quota metadata for AD trustees.
For more information, see iManager and Storage-Related Plug-Ins
in the OES 2018 SP3: NSS File System Administration Guide for Linux.
nBackup: Back up and restore the NSS AD data and metadata.
NOTE:The nbackup utility can be run only as an eDirectory user. Active Directory users cannot run this utility.
For more information, see Backup Applications
in the OES 2018 SP3: Storage Management Services Administration Guide for Linux.
nitconfig: Specify and configure how the Novell Identity Translator (NIT) handles UID assignments for Active Directory users and groups.
For more information, see Section 7.2, NIT (Novell Identity Translator).
OES User Rights Map (NURM): Apply the NSS trustee rights of eDirectory users, groups, and containers to Active Directory users and groups. The basic process is as follows:
Create a proposed mapping between the eDirectory to Active Directory objects using a common name or other fields.
If needed, modify the proposed mapping and then save it.
Apply the mapping to assign rights to corresponding AD users.
For more information, see Section 7.4, NURM (OES User Rights Map).
OES Files Access and Rights Management (NFARM): Manage the rights and quotas of AD users or groups on Storage Services (NSS) resources.
For more information, see Section 7.5, NFARM (OES File Access Rights Management).
NRM: Manage AD user connections and open files, and generate inventory reports for AD users.
For more information, see OES 2018 SP3: OES Remote Manager Administration Guide.
NSSCON: Using new NSS commands, upgrade NSS pool media to support Active Directory, AD-enabling NSS volumes, and so on.
For more information, see the pool and volume sections in NSS Commands
in the OES 2018 SP3: NSS File System Administration Guide for Linux.
NSS Rights Utility: Specify NSS trustee rights for AD users and groups.
The trustee information is saved in the file and directory metadata on the NSS volume and works seamlessly with NetWare if the volume is moved to a NetWare server.
For more information, see rights
in the OES 2018 SP3: NSS File System Administration Guide for Linux.
NSS Quota (nssquota) Utility: Set, get, or clear the AD user and group quotas on NSS volumes and files.
For more information, see nssquota
in the OES 2018 SP3: NSS File System Administration Guide for Linux.
NSS Change Owner (nsschown) Utility: Manage ownership of NSS resources for AD users.
For more information, see nsschown
in the OES 2018 SP3: NSS File System Administration Guide for Linux.
NSSMU Utility: Update NSS pools to support AD and AD-enabled NSS volumes.
For more information, see NSS Management Utility (NSSMU) Quick Reference
in the OES 2018 SP3: NSS File System Administration Guide for Linux.
