and passwords must match the usernames and passwords of their Windows logins.
Delegate Authority to External SMB Server
Access to the TeraStation is controlled by an Authentication Server. Microsoft
networking knowledge is required to configure this. Consult your network
administrator for details.
Use Windows Domain Controller as Authentication Server
Users are verified by a Domain Controller, but the TeraStation does not join the
domain.
* If you specify the Windows Domain Controller as an external SMB authentication
server, the workgroup name of the TeraStation and the domain name of the
Windows Domain Controller must match.
Automatic User Registration
Select to add users allowed by the authentication server to the TeraStation's
authenticated user list .
Example:
Use automatic registration for a while to add users, then disable to limit users to
those who accessed the shared folder during the authentication registration process.
Enable Authentication Shared Folder
Use the folder as an authentication test folder that can be accessed by users
registered to the authentication server.
When Delegate Authority to External SMB Server is selected for Authentication
Method, specify the external server to be used for user authentication by its name or
IP address.
* When connecting via AFP, FTP, FTPS, or SFTP, always use an IP address. The server
name may not work.
* Always use the IP address when specifying a server that is not in the same subnet
of the network as the TeraStation.
