8.1 in C-mode or 7-mode?

IN 7-mode it’s:

options nfs.authsys.extended_groups_ns.enable on

We have this enabled on a lot of 8.1.2/8.1.4 (and 8.0.3) machines. I don’t remember which revision of 8.1 it was introduced in, could be it wasn’t in the base version of 8.1 ?

It’s not implemented in C-mode.

Subject: nfs.authsys.extended_groups_ns.enable?

Hello All,

Trying to work around the 16 group limitation of NFS v3 on our 8.1 vfiler and finding references to a “hidden” option “nfs.authsys.extended_groups_ns.enable” that will effectively disable group lookups via auth_sys/RPC and instead look to the filer’s AD authentication for a user’s group memberships. This is similar in spirit to Isilon’s “mapuid” feature and “regular” NFS’s –manage-gid switch.

But I’ve tried in regular mode, priv set advanced and priv set diag, and I always get “No such option nfs.authsys.extended_groups_ns.enable” if I try to view or change the option.

Am I missing some step to make this hidden double-secret-probationary option available?

Randy
