5.6. Verifying that an IdM user can access NFS shares on an IdM client

Procedure

1. Verify that the IdM user can access the read-write directory:

   1. Connect to the IdM client as the IdM user:

      $ ssh idm_user@idm-client.idm.example.com
      Password:

   2. Obtain the ticket-granting ticket (TGT) for the IdM user:

      $ kinit idm_user

   3. Optional: View the group membership of the IdM user:

      $ ipa user-show idm_user
        User login: idm_user
        [...]
        Member of groups: developers, ipausers

   4. Navigate to the /devel/project directory:

      $ cd /devel/project

   5. List the directory contents:

      $ ls
      rw_file

   6. Add a line to the file in the directory to test the write permission:

      $ echo "idm_user can write into the file" > rw_file

   7. Optional: View the updated contents of the file:

      $ cat rw_file
      this is a read-write file
      idm_user can write into the file

   The output confirms that idm_user can write into the file.
