    Parameter

    Description

    Mapping Mode

    Indicates the user mapping mode related to the operating system. Currently, only Windows to UNIX is supported. That is, when accessing UNIX shares using Windows, a Windows user has all the permissions granted to the target user.

    Source User

    Indicates the 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.

    Target User

    Indicates the target user in the mapping.

    Priority

    Indicates the 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

  4. Click OK.
