Local Users Mode
•
If you select Active Directory mode, enter the details for your Active Directory
database in the remaining fields and click the Apply button.
Keep the following precautions in mind:
•
Your Active Directory server and your ReadyNAS system must have the same
time set on their system clocks. NETGEAR recommends that you choose your
domain controller as your NTP server to ensure that time settings are the same.
•
The DNS server that you use must be able to resolve the host name of the domain
controller. NETGEAR recommends that you point your ReadyNAS to the Active
Directory DNS to ensure that host names can be resolved.
If you use Active Directory mode, you do not use your ReadyNAS system to manage
your users and groups. Instead, you manage them with your Active Directory
database and the changes are transferred to your ReadyNAS system every 12 hours.
After you make changes to your Active Directory database, click the Refresh ADS
Accounts button to immediately update user and group information on your
ReadyNAS system.
For more information about managing users and groups with Active Directory, see
your Active Directory documentation.
