User & Group Management
Authentication validates a user's identity by requiring the user to provide a
registered login name and corresponding password. Snap Servers ship with
predefined local users and groups that allow administrative and guest user
access to the server via all protocols. Administrators may choose to join the
Snap Server to a traditional Windows NT or Active Directory domain, and
Windows clients can then authenticate to the server using their domain
credentials. To accommodate NFS clients, the Snap Server can also join an
NIS domain, and the Snap Server can look up user and group IDs
maintained by the domain. For authentication control beyond the guest
account, Macintosh and FTP client login credentials can be created locally
on the sever.
