Unix IDs Tab

The Unix IDs tab provides configuration options to translate Unix IDs (UID) to SIDs. This tab applies to NetApp devices, Dell devices, and Nasuni Edge Appliances.

When activity is performed on an NFS resource, UIDs are returned for that activity event. Depending on the operating system, the UID can be mapped to Active Directory accounts using the uidNumber attribute in Active Directory. The activity agent resolves the Active Directory SID based on the UID from the activity event.

Unix ID Tab

The options are:

  • Translate Unix IDs to SIDs – Enables all controls on the page
  • Search in container (DN) – Default naming context of the agent's domain
  • Search scope – Select from the following radio buttons:
    • This container and its descendants
    • This container only
  • Search - Search using the following specifications:
    • by an attribute – Specify an LDAP filter. This attribute cannot be empty.
    • with a custom filter – Use the %UID% macro for a Unix ID value
    • Provide UID for test/Test – Test button performs a search in the specified container with the scope and the filter, replacing %UID% with 0 for the test
