   Table 1 Basic user mapping parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Mapping Mode	UNIX to Windows: When accessing Windows shares using UNIX, a UNIX user has all the permissions granted to the target user.
   Source User	Source user in the mapping. NOTE: The name of the source user supports the wildcard (*). For example, user* indicates all user names starting with user. The user name can be a common or domain user name. An AD domain user name uses a backslash (\) to connect the domain name and user name. Only one backslash (\) is allowed, for example, china\user001. The AD domain name supports only the NetBIOS name. You can query the NetBIOS name of a domain by running the nbtstat -n command on the CLI. Alternatively, you can right-click the domain on the Active Directory Users and Computers page, choose Properties from the shortcut menu, and view the value of Domain name (pre-Windows 2000) in the dialog box that is displayed. The value is the NetBIOS name of the domain.
   Target User	Target user in the mapping. NOTE: The user name can be a common or domain user name. An AD domain user name uses a backslash (\) to connect the domain name and user name. Only one backslash (\) is allowed, for example, china\user001. The AD domain name supports only the NetBIOS name. You can query the NetBIOS name of a domain by running the nbtstat -n command on the CLI. Alternatively, you can right-click the domain on the Active Directory Users and Computers page, choose Properties from the shortcut menu, and view the value of Domain name (pre-Windows 2000) in the dialog box that is displayed. The value is the NetBIOS name of the domain.
   Priority	Priority of the mapping. A smaller value indicates a higher priority. When multiple mappings share the same source user, the system uses the mapping with the highest priority. [Value range] 1 to 32
