Managing mapping inconsistencies

You can manage mapping inconsistencies by performing several tasks.

About this task

If a user cannot access a file that should be accessible, there are several possible reasons:

Steps

  1. Display the current CIFS credential mapping of a UNIX name by entering the following command: wcc -s uname

    uname is the Windows user name. You can further narrow the specification of the user by adding -i, followed by the IP address of the host that the user is on. You can get more detailed information by appending -v to the command line. You can have up to three instances of the -v option (-vvv) per command; each instance represents an increasing level of detail.

  2. Note the CIFS credential information.
  3. To display information about all connected users, enter the following command: cifs sessions -s
  4. Locate the user’s information in the output.
  5. Compare the two CIFS credential mappings.
  6. If the CIFS credential mappings are different, disconnect the client by entering the following command: cifs terminate workstation

Result

When the client reconnects, the CIFS credential mappings will be correct.
