Our applications on AIX world are supposed to write files in to certain locations on a Windows server. To make things easier, NFS was used (historically)

The application running on AIX uses a user account called "webuser" and "webuser" is supposed to have write permissions on the mounted windows share.

Given this what is the best approach ? Do a user id mapping for "webuser" so that webuser can write files after root mounts the target NFS share or

Do a root mapping so that root can mount NFS location and then change owner to "webuser"?

Thanks,
