Ldap authentication and auto-home folder

[ktsiv]

Hello,
I have an ldap server witch users use for authentication.
How can I create home directory / folder first time user is trying to access the Freenas unit? or batch create all home folders?
Thanks!

The homefolder will be automatically created when a user logs in into your FreeNAS with ssh (thanks to pam_mkhomedir).

Thank you,
will the user be able to access this folder via nfs automatically?

This depends. To have this automagically working some things must be configured properly.

• The parent folder of the user home must exist on FreeNAS (can be a symlink into a dataset)
• The dataset must be exported as a nfs share on the FreeNAS
• The folder must be mounted on the client (can be achieved e.g. via automount)
