Description
The talk will share our experience of deploying Secure NFS v3, Secure NFS v4, as well as just NFS v4 throughout a large enterprise with hundreds of NAS appliances and thousands of hosts. The NAS appliances are NetApp filers and the clients are mainly RedHat Linux systems; the problems encountered with the NFS v4 protocol however are not Operating System specific. The challenges of managing Kerberos credentials for thousands of non-interactive service accounts running business applications must be well-known to the AFS community and I will present how we are approaching the problem.
