Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services As
Identity Mapping Source
Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) is used for identity mapping on systems that run
Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 in an environment where no Active Directory exists to
support user mapping.
Before you start AD LDS mapping:
• Determine the users and groups on the UNIX-based system that must be mapped to users and groups
on the Windows-based system.
• Determine the UID and GID for each UNIX user, and the GID for each UNIX group.
• Create a user or group on the Windows-based computer for each UNIX user or group to be mapped.
NOTE: Each UID and GID requires a unique mapping. You cannot use one-to-many or many-to-
one mappings.
Configuring AD LDS For Services For NFS
To configure AD LDS for services for NFS:
1. Install the AD LDS server role. For more information, see Installing The AD LDS Server Role
2. Create a new AD LDS instance.
3. Extend the AD LDS schema to support NFS user mapping.
4. Set a default instance name for AD LDS instances.
5. Update the active directory schema.
6. Add user and group account maps from a UNIX-based computer to a Windows-based computer.
7. Authorize appropriate access to the ADS LDS namespace object.
8. Configure the mapping source.
