Installing SecureShare

For multiprotocol environments, Data ONTAP provides two SecureShare features:

SecureShare Access, which makes it easy for Windows users to change UNIX file permissions on the filer.
SecureShare Access appears as a tab in the Properties dialog box of a set of files you select if at least one of the files is a UNIX file. To use SecureShare Access, follow the instructions in "Changing UNIX permissions from Windows" in Chapter 7 of the System Administrator's Guide.
SecureShare Account Migrator (formerly the cvtusers tool), which makes it easy to convert users and groups from a Windows NT domain into the format necessary to populate the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files on your filer. It enables you to perform the following tasks:
- Create the commands necessary to build CIFS shares for each user and apply appropriate rights to these shares.
- Synchronize a Windows NT domain with /etc files, so you can keep your /etc files current by running the program daily.
You can run SecureShare Account Migrator only from Windows NT, and only if you have administrative access to the filer.
