Integrating Users From An Ads, Ntv4, Or Nis Domain - Linksys NSS4000 Series Administrator's Manual

Integrating Users from an ADS, NTv4, or NIS Domain

Overview
When the NSS is joined to an ADS, NTv4, or NIS domain, a list of existing domain users is
imported into the Configured Users list. You can view the entire user list from the Configured Users
page but can only edit or delete locally created users (not domain users). The naming conventions
use the NetBIOS format with the domain name as a prefix of the username. The primary group for
users set up within the ADS, NTv4 or NIS domain is taken from the user's domain profile versus the
Primary Group field in the NSS user profile.
NOTE: It is important to set up your User and Group ID ranges before you join the NSS to
an ADS, NTv4, or NIS domain. After you join the NSS to a domain, you should not
make changes to the range as this might lead to an ID collision.
Logging Into the NSS as a Local User
When the NSS is joined to an NTv4 or ADS domain, local users must prefix their username with the
hostname of the NSS. Users who log in without the hostname prefix are automatically assumed to be
domain users. For example, if the NSS hostname is "NASadmin" and the local username is "bob",
the user would need to log in as "NASadmin\bob" in the login dialog.
