These are the components associated with using Authentication Services in a NIS environment:
The RFC 2307 Map Import Wizard imports NIS data into Active Directory as RFC 2307 objects either from a NIS server or from a local file. This wizard can also save an import session as an LDIF file that you can import using standard LDAP tools.
The RFC 2307 NIS Map Editor is the standard Windows tool for modifying RFC 2307 NIS data that has been imported into Active Directory using the import wizard.
nisedit is the NIS Map Command Line Administration Utility you run from the host.
vasyp runs on a Authentication Services Unix host machine joined to an Active Directory domain. It interprets RFC 2307 objects from Active Directory as standard NIS maps on Unix.
Using the RFC 2307 NIS Map Import Wizard, you can import directly from local files or from an existing NIS server.
To start the NIS Map Import Wizard
By default, NIS Map Objects are only available to Authentication Services clients in the same organizational unit to which they are joined.
If the client is joined in Unix Personality Mode then only the NIS maps residing in the personality containers NIS OU are accessible.
