Administering the Secure NFS System

To use the Secure NFS system, all the systems that you are responsible for must have a domain name. Typically, a domain is an administrative entity of several systems that is part of a larger network. If you are running a name service, you should also establish the name service for the domain. For information about name services, see Working With Oracle Solaris 11.2 Directory and Naming Services: DNS and NIS .

Kerberos V5 authentication is supported by the NFS service. For more information, see Chapter 2, About the Kerberos Service, in Managing Kerberos and Other Authentication Services in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .

You can also configure the Secure NFS environment to use Diffie-Hellman authentication. For more information about Diffie-Hellman authentication, see Chapter 10, Configuring Network Services Authentication, in Managing Kerberos and Other Authentication Services in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .
