I want to set a up a share server in linux. I want that the users need userid and password to use the share server, but the files should be accessed with the user rights of the share server.
Running the share server with AUTHENTICATE=OPTIONAL, everybody can use the share server and access all files available to the share server. Running it with AUTHENTICATE=REQ, only users known to the system can use the share server and access the files the users are allowed to access.
What I want is a mix:
only users known to the system can use the share server (i.e. they have to use userid+apsswd), and they can access all files available to the share server.
I.e. accessing the files, the share server does not check against the user rights.
Is this possible?

I think you can get that behaviour when you use a metadata server and have metadata bound libraries. You will have to give the users access through the management console but the SAS/Share server will not be checking whether the user has rights on the file system settings to acces those datasets, just the UserID that has started the server needs those.
As an alternative you could set up a group on the linux level and play with group ownership on the datasets and the rights there.
