Use this category to discuss the installation, configuration and usage of the AuriStorFS Protection Service. The Protection Service maintains user name-to-id mappings, group name-to-id mappings, and group membership information. When processing a cache manager request the fileserver queries the Protection Service to fetch the Current Protection Set (requestor id and group memberships) for the requesting identity and that of the requesting host’s IPv4 address.
The AuriStorFS Protection Service manages both cell administrator managed groups and per-user self-service groups.
