Can anyone let me know how can I map a UID 162 to UID 107. Files in my nfs are getting created with ownership 162:162 but on my local machine the userid for that specific user is 107 so I need to map it.

/etc/idmapd.conf

[Mapping]
Nobody-User = nobody
Nobody-Group = nobody

Can anyone let me know how to map it in idmap.conf.

    It may be more sensible to synchronize the user accounts between the systems via LDAP or configuration management than to maintain a mapping table. Commented Jun 1, 2016 at 15:57

nfs4 does not use uid numbers but usernames. You can add to your /etc/idmapd.conf 

[Translation]
   Method=static
[Static]
   fred@remote = localfred

where fred is the username on the remote, and localfred is the local username.

  • Thank you, but the files are not getting created by username they are getting created by a uid 162 which on local machine is 107. Commented Jun 2, 2016 at 4:44
