Windows PC User vs QNAP User

Post by GSpuhler »

Hello QNAP Community

On our environment we have about 15 PC and the PC have all different user accounts. On the QNAP NAS the intention was to made the same user as the user on the windows PC's.

Now I determined that some user have different and additional user in Windows vs QNAP (for example in Windows: AlphaOne and Mike and on QNAP User is: u80793315). The intention is that both user AlphaOne and Mike point to the same QNAP user account u80793315.

Can you please let me know how I have to handle this topic to assure that both Windows User (AlphaOne and Mike) are directed to the QNAP user u80793315. May be the question sounds stupid but I do not know how I can handle this issue.
From the manual I understood I need to have AlphaOne and Mike as user on QNAP to assure access, but now how I merge them to the QNAP user u80793315 ?

I appreciate your assistance.
Thanks and best regards
Gregor

In the past of SAMBA you could it define with a username map file.
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/man ... SERNAMEMAP
Insert in your smb.conf a new line with

Code: Select all

username map = /etc/config/smbusers
and open or create the file "/etc/config/smbusers".
There you have to insert a line with

Code: Select all

u80793315 = AlphaOne Mike
Then restart restart SAMBA with "/etc/init.d/smb.sh restart" or restart you NAS.

I could be it still works with the QNAP NAS.

There are no other possibilities
