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 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.
