5.5.2 Windows Domain Security Mode

A domain is a group of computers that are part of a network and share a common directory
database. On the NSA, use Windows Domain Security Mode if you want centralized
management of shared resources, services and user on a centralized Windows-based domain
controller. You can create users and groups on the centralized Windows-based domain
controller such as an active server directory, and the NSA checks this list when authenticating
users and/or groups that seek access to a share. This is suitable for a large number of CIFS
users where accounts are stored on an external server.
A domain is organized in levels and is administered as a unit with common rules and
procedures. Each domain has a unique name. You must be logged on as an administrator to
your local computer and have a valid user name and password to join your computer to a
domain. If you do not know which user name and password to use, contact your network
administrator.
The NSA time and date must be the same as the time and date on the external
domain controller if the NSA is using one to import users and groups.
