Synology DiskStation User's Guide
Based on DSM 4.2
39 Chapter 7: Set Up File Sharing
Enable NFS Service for Linux Clients
Click the NFS Service tab at Main Menu > Control Panel > Win/Mac/NFS to allow Linux client to access
DiskStation data.
If you want to configure Linux client's NFS access privileges to the shared folders, see "Allow Users or Groups to
Access Shared Folders" for more information.
Join DiskStation to Directory Service
Go to Main Menu > Control Panel > Directory Service to join your Synology DiskStation to a directory service
as a Windows domain or LDAP client. When DiskStation is joined to a directory service, you can manage
domain/LDAP users' access privileges to shared folders and DSM applications and enable their home service.
Joining a Windows Domain
Click the Domain tab, and enter domain name and DNS server (optional) to join DiskStation to a Windows ADS
domain. In the window that appears, enter the user name and password for the administrator of the domain
server.
After Synology DiskStation joins the domain, domain users can log in to Synology DiskStation with their domain
account and password.
Note:
 If your domain user name includes “%” and “$”, you might not be able to access your home folder. Please ask your
domain administrator to give you a new user name.
 Domain groups Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins will be added to the local group administrators
automatically. In other words, domain users in these groups have administrative right on the DiskStation, including
performing DSM/CIFS/FTP/AFP/WebDAV applications.
 You can also configure domain users’ access privileges to the shared folders on Synology DiskStation. See "Allow
Domain Users or Groups to Access Shared Folders" for more information.
Binding to an LDAP Server
LDAP allows your DiskStation to join an existing directory service as an LDAP client, and then retrieve user or
group information from an LDAP server (or "directory server"). You can manage LDAP users' or groups' access
privileges to DSM applications and shared folders, just as you would with DSM local users or groups.
