Greetings! I'm looking for some advice.
I've been reading up on NFS and Samba permissions on FreeNAS. I know the two are not to be mixed.
My current usecase is that I have a (virtualized) FreeNAS box, alongside which I have several other virtual boxes doing various things to three volumes. I have no option to create separate volumes with different permission types so it's either windows or Unix permissions across the board.
All VM's are Linux based, all my network clients are Windows based.
I set things up with Windows security with basically all permissions for everyone, because for my use case that didn't really matter.
I get stuck a bit however with setting up things like FTP services on FreeNAS as sure enough those clients try to CHMOD etc when doing directories, and that fails as the windows security prevents it.
Since all my clients run Windows 10 which I believe natively supports an NFS client, I figured I could perhaps switch everything to Unix permissions instead.
What I was wondering though - what is the best way to setup security per user?
Basically what I would like to achieve is that the various VM's (Plex for example) can authenticate in such a way that I have alignment with the UUID's on the users on FreeNAS and the users on the local Plex, so to speak. I would like the Windows clients to also use "proper" authentication so I can map their (home) drives automatically, perhaps, or at least keep ownership and access neat and tidy.
What is the best way to go about that?
