NIS databases provide simple management and administration of Unix-based networks. These databases can provide details about users and groups, and also individual client machines (including IP address and host name), to facilitate authentication for users logging in to clients on the network.

The server supports integration with NIS directory services which can provide the following:

  • NFS user and group account information retrieval
  • Name services for resolving host names to IP addresses
  • FTP user authentication
