The Ownership Alignment Tool (OAT) provides an automated solution to changing resource ownership to accommodate changes in users' uids/gids, and changes to group memberships.  The Ownership Alignment Tool also supports matching users' Unix Identities to their Windows account.  Another aspect of consolidating identity stores is managing resource ownership. When a single UID exists for multiple users or multiple UIDs exist for a single user, new UIDs will be assigned as part of the migration. A group's GIDs and memberships may also change. Accommodating conflicting GIDs, consolidating roles, and combining redundant groups all influence ownership changes. Further, Unix limits the maximum number of supplementary groups that can be assigned to a user. Resources, such as files, are marked with the UID and GID of the owner. The resources must have the ownership updated to reflect the newly assigned UIDs and GIDs.The Ownership Alignment Tool (OAT) is a general-purpose tool that combines an automated solution with adequate control, reporting, error recovery, the ability to stop and restart bulk updates, and rollback capability. OAT provides the necessary flexibility to accomplish updating resource ownership in a production environment. In particular, the combination of OAT and the Penrose NIS Tool supports changing ownerships in environments with complex application and system interdependencies.
