SMB Autohome

For Windows file sharing, Autohome provides access to filesystems using the SMB protocol. Autohome defines and maintains home directory shares for users that access the system through SMB. Autohome rules map SMB clients to home directories.

Figure 20  Setting Autohome Rules

• Use Name Service Switch - Toggles Name Service Switch (NSS) on or off. You cannot create an NSS rule and an rule for all users at the same time.

• AD Container - Sets the Active Directory container, for example: dc=com,dc=fishworks, ou=Engineering,CN=myhome.

• User - Sets the Autohome rule for all All users or for the user you specify. When you specify a user, the wildcards "&" and "?" refer to a user's login and its corresponding first character.

• Directory - Sets the directory for the rule, for example: /export/wdp.
