Mapping the Rational ClearCase server process user

Samba requires a username map that associates the Windows® account for the Rational® ClearCase® server process user with an appropriate user account on Linux® or the UNIX® system. (For more information about this account, see Common user and group names.) The examples in this section assume that the name of the Rational ClearCase server process user account on Windows is clearcase_albd.

To create the Samba username map,

Use any text editor to create a file named username.map on the host where Samba is installed. Create this file in the same directory where other Samba configuration files (such as smb.conf) are installed. The file must contain a line of the form

account = clearcase_albd

where account is the name of an existing user account on Linux or the UNIX system that meets the criteria listed in Specifying the Windows domain for credential mapping of users on hosts running Linux or the UNIX system. For more information about the file username.map, see the Samba documentation.
