Title
Not all AD groups showing in OS X file sharing permissions -
Description
There is a shared directory on a Mac that needs to be assigned to certain AD groups for access, however in the OS X file sharing control panel not all of the AD groups are listed. The only groups listed are the ones set as admin-users in the QAS configuration.
-
Cause
QAS only caches Unix enabled groups by default and none of the AD groups had been Unix enabled. The admin groups were showing up because they were cached when the admin-users setting was processed. -
Resolution
Unix enabling the groups and then running "/opt/quest/bin/vastool flush" to reload the cache resolved the issue.
