Set Up Users

Configuration Æ Users & Groups
page
When user-level security for Microsoft networking is configured,
use this page to create the users and groups for the server. This
page is inaccessible when the default share-level security is
configured. (See “Share Level, User Level” on page 4-10 above.)
Group member lists set up on this page can be used in granting
permissions to file shares. (See “Permissions” on page 4-10 above).
For each client user, specify the user name, the full name, and any
group memberships. In addition, you may specify each user
password here, or you may pass through the authentication to a
domain controller by enabling pass-through authentication.
Passthrough Authentication
requires further configuration, as
described immediately below.

Pass-through
Authentication
Pass-through authentication on the HD Server allows you to use a
domain controller as an authentication server—to validate the user
passwords on this server—so that you need not specify each
password in both locations.
Note ❏
On the HD Server, pass-through authentication does
not
use
the users and groups configured on an authentication server
(domain server). Users and groups must be configured on this
server using the
Configuration Æ Users & Groups
page (above
on page 4-11).
For pass-through authentication of users to be in effect, you must
do all the following:
•
Specify the name and IP address of the Windows NT domain
controller (authentication server) on this
Microsoft Networking
page.
•
Set up the usernames and passwords on that domain controller.
(This may already exist.) The usernames must be identical on
that domain controller and on this HD Server.
•
Enter the name of the domain for that domain controller and
this server into the
Workgroup/Domain
field on the
Configuration Æ Network Æ Microsoft Networking
page. (See
“Workgroup or Domain” on page 4-6.)
•
Enable
Passthrough Authentication
on the
User
page, accessed
using
[Create]
or
[Edit]
on
Configuration Æ Users & Groups
page.
These settings take effect after the next restart (see page 4-13).
