Access NFS Export from Windows Client with AD User

    Posted 03-07-2025 06:48

    Hello,

    i am trying to make an NFS Export for an Active Directory User accessible.

    On HNAS Side i have  the User Mapping for the AD User which should be able to access the NFS Export. It shows me the Windows Name and the according NFSv2/3 Name.

    Next Step was to add the NFSv2/3 Name to the NFS Export Access Configuration. Here i am not sure if this is even possible and if it is possible, how to enter it correctly. For now i have only added the User and the Permission. for example: USERID(rw)

    On the Windows Client i have installed the NFS Client and i try to map the nfs export with this command: mount -u:USERID -p:ADPASSWORD \\SERVERNAME\NFSEXPORT y:

    But i only get an Network Error 53. If i remove the user from the NFS Export, i am able to map it without user and password.

    What i am getting wrong?

    BR

    Hi Miran,
    Check if your HNAS is added to AD too.
    Check with cifs-dc --list -v

    Then, when you insert your DOMAIN\USER in User mapping you must receive the user's SID automatically.
    Check the nfs-min-supported-version (global configuration) - Windows have some problems with NFS < 3

    If you can map without a user and password and you can use the export with your correct permission, everything looks fine. Using u:USERID -p: ADPASSOWORD is not reliable. Hitachi NAS typically expects the mapping to already be resolved by UID.
