Mac Users: Accessing Storage through CIFS/SMB

Mac users who have a user profile set up can access any shares to which they have privileges on the
NSS storage using CIFS/SMB.
To access the NSS storage via CIFS/SMB:
1. From the Finder's Go menu, click Connect to Server.
2. Enter "smb://<hostname or IP address of the NSS>/<sharename>. (Where the information in
the brackets is meant to be replaced with the applicable information. Do not type the brackets.)
Click the "+" sign to save the NSS address to the Favorite Servers list so that the next time you
log in, you just need to select the address from the list.
3. Click Connect.
4. When the Login window appears, enter your username and password. If your user profile is set
up locally (that is, through the NSS configuration interface and not through the ADS or NTv4
domain), you need to enter the following: <NSS hostname>\<user name>.
5. Depending on your privileges to the share, you can begin using the NSS storage.
