Hi All,

We are under the (hopefully not mistaken) impression that with GPFS 4.1 supporting NFSv4 it should be possible to have a CNFS setup authenticate against Active Directory as long as you use NFSv4.  I also thought that I had seen somewhere (possibly one of the two GPFS related mailing lists I’m on, or in a DeveloperWorks article, or ???) that IBM has published documentation on how to set this up (a kind of cookbook).

I’ve done a fair amount of Googling looking for such a document, but I seem to be uniquely talented in not being able to find things with Google!  :-(  Does anyone know of such a document and could send me the link to it?  It would be very helpful to us as I’ve got essentially zero experience with Kerberos (which I think is required to talk to AD) and the institutions’ AD environment is managed by a separate department.

Thanks in advance…

Kevin
