PBSA is a simple model that allows only users having the correct password to gain
access to an individual share.
UBSA access is more flexible. An administrator can grant permissions to shares to each
individual user. An individual user can be assigned either no access, full access, or read
access on a share-by-share basis. If you select USBA, you must also designate a pool.
The DiskGO uses this pool to save user information. If no disk pool exists, you must
create one (see "Creating a New Disk
specified amount of disk space that contains one or more shares (see
Management" for information about creating and managing disk pools).
To configure a DiskGO as a member of a Workgroup
1. Select the Workgroup Member Mode checkbox.
2. Type the workgroup name in the Workgroup Name box.
3. Select either the Password Based Share Access check box or the User
Based Share
Access check box. If you select the User Based Share Access check box, in the Pool
Name list, click the pool where user accounts are stored.
Domain Member Mode
A domain is a workgroup with the added feature of single sign-on. With single sign-on, a
user has one account that is shared across multiple computers. Also, the user can access
resources on another computer without having to re-authenticate. Computers in a domain
are controlled from a central location (domain controller) and users must obtain central
authentication before joining the domain. If your network uses a domain, you may prefer
to configure the DiskGO to connect to the network as a domain member. When the
DiskGO is configured in this way, the DiskGO software sends a request to the PDC to
authenticate users, which provides user- level security. Although the DiskGO can be in
only one domain at a time, you can configure the DiskGO to connect to two different
domains. This allows you to easily switch between the two domains using the same user
name and password.
To configure the DiskGO 3.5" Network Hard Drive as a member of a domain
1. Select the Domain Member Mode check box.
2. Type the domain name in the Domain Name box.
If the DiskGO is recognized in this domain, the device rejoins the domain without
authentication. Otherwise, you must type the domain administrator user name in the
Admin User box and the password in the Admin Password box.
For DiskGO drives that are also configured to support Network File System (NFS), the
DiskGO assigns UNIX®
Common Internet File System (CIFS). User IDs are in the range 35000–40000; group IDs
are in the range 42000–43000.
