Once you have configured at least one Gateway Server machine according to the instructions in Configuring Gateway Server Machines, you can configure your NFS clients to provide access to the DFS filespace. Users who have DCE accounts can then authenticate to DCE for authenticated access to DFS from the NFS clients. Authenticating to DCE provides these users with the privileges and permissions associated with their DCE identities.
Depending on how you configured your Gateway Server machines, configure each NFS client that is to provide access to DFS in one of the following ways:
· If you configured your Gateway Servers so that users cannot issue the dfs_login command to authenticate to DCE, configure your NFS clients without enabling DCE authentication via the dfs_login command; follow the instructions in Configuring a Client Without Enabling Remote Authentication.
· If you configured your Gateway Servers so that users can issue the dfs_login command to authenticate to DCE, configure your NFS clients and enable DCE authentication via the dfs_login command; follow the instructions in Configuring a Client and Enabling Remote Authentication.
Because the steps in each of these sections mount /... on an NFS client, users who do not have DCE accounts can still use the NFS client for unauthenticated access to DFS. (See Unauthenticated Access to DFS for more information about unauthenticated access; see Authenticated Access to DFS for more information about authenticated access.)
