Options

<name>

Sets the name of the NIS provider.

--nis-domain <string>

Specifies the NIS domain name.

--servers <string>

Specifies a list of NIS servers to be used by this provider. Specify the NIS server as an IPv4 address or hostname. Repeat this option to specify multiple list items.

--authentication {yes | no}

Enables or disables the use of the provider for authentication as well as identity. The default value is yes.

--balance-servers {yes | no}

Makes the provider connect to a random server on each request.

--check-online-interval <duration>

Specifies the time between provider online checks, in the format <integer>[{Y | M | W | D | H | m | s}].

--create-home-directory {yes | no}

Specifies whether to create a home directory the first time a user logs in, if a home directory does not already exist for the user.

--enabled {yes | no}

Enables or disables the provider.

--enumerate-groups {yes | no}

Specifies whether to allow the provider to enumerate groups.

--enumerate-users {yes | no}

Specifies whether to allow the provider to enumerate users.

--findable-groups <string>

Specifies a group that can be found in this provider if --restrict-findable is enabled. Repeat this option to specify multiple list items. If populated, groups that are not included in this list cannot be resolved.

--findable-users <string>

Specifies a user that can be found in this provider if --restrict-findable is enabled. Repeat this option to specify multiple list items. If populated, users that are not included in this list cannot be resolved.

--group-domain <string>

Specifies the domain that this provider will use to qualify groups. The default group domain is NIS_GROUPS.

--home-directory-template <path>

Specifies the path to use as a template for naming home directories. The path must begin with /ifs and can include special character sequences that are dynamically replaced with strings at home directory creation time that represent specific variables. For example, %U, %D, and %Z are replaced with the user name, provider domain name, and zone name, respectively. For more information, see the Home directories section.

--hostname-lookup {yes | no}

Enables or disables host name lookups.

--listable-groups <string>

Specifies a group that can be viewed in this provider if --restrict-listable is enabled. Repeat this option to specify multiple list items. If populated, groups that are not included in this list cannot be viewed.

--listable-users <string>

Specifies a user that can be viewed in this provider if --restrict-listable is enabled. Repeat this option to specify multiple list items. If populated, users that are not included in this list cannot be viewed.

--login-shell <path>

--normalize-groups {yes | no}

Normalizes group name to lowercase before lookup.

--normalize-users {yes | no}

Normalizes user name to lowercase before lookup.

--provider-domain <string>

Specifies the domain that this provider will use to qualify user and group names.

--ntlm-support {all | v2only | none}

For users with NTLM-compatible credentials, specifies which NTLM versions to support. Valid values are all, v2only, and none. NTLMv2 provides additional security over NTLM.

--request-timeout <integer>

Specifies the request timeout interval in seconds. The default value is 20.

--restrict-findable {yes | no}

Specifies whether to check this provider for filtered lists of findable and unfindable users and groups.

--restrict-listable {yes | no}

Specifies whether to check this provider for filtered lists of viewable and unviewable users and groups.

--retry-time <integer>

Sets the timeout period in seconds after which a request will be retried. The default value is 5.

The groupnet specifies which networking properties the NIS provider will use when communicating with external servers.

{--verbose | -v}

Displays the results of running the command.
