Hi,

You could consider using NexentaStor which is also using ZFS, providing a feature rich GUI and CLI
for NAS management. I've successfully used FreeIPA 2 with NexentaStor for CIFS, NFS3 and NFS4 +
Kerberos 5, having Linux clients connecting to kerberized NFS4 shares, and Windows clients
connecting to the CIFS service.

I assume anything that supports LDAP will be usable with IPA, at least for user lookup.

In my NexentaStor configuration, the NFS service is using FreeIPA (nss_ldap+krb5), and the CIFS
service is using Active Directory (nss_ad) for user authentication.



Rgds,
Siggi
