Title : A Method and Protocol for Mapping User and Group names
from Multiple Domains to Internal Security Identifiers
Author(s) : N. Williams
Filename : draft-williams-nfsv4-ace-mapping-01.txt
Pages : 22
Date : 2003-7-1
This document presents a model for mapping the domain-qualified
user and group names used in the Network File System version 4's
Access Control List (ACL) entries (ACEs) to internal identifiers
such as POSIX UIDs and GIDs, as well as reverse mappings as well
as a protocol for effecting such mappings in a consistent way
across a server cluster, site, or entire domain.
The main goals of this model and protocol are to allow the use of
user and group names from multiple domains to be used in POSIX
environments as well as enabling multi-protocol fileserver
implementations which must support the use of a variety of user
and group identifiers.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
