What Happens
Note
2 Addendum: HP SureStore HD Server 4000
What happens. When a client user maps a drive to a share on the
HD server (or selects it from Network Neighborhood), the
HD server checks the NT domain controller (also known as the
DC or PDC or authentication server) for the user's account. If it is
found, the user is authenticated. Then the global groups in which
that user appears on the domain controller are passed back to the
HD server. If any of the group names match groups already
configured on the HD server, the user is allowed access to a share
for which the group has permissions.
The user name is added to the list of users on the HD server and to
the groups that match. Pass-through authentication (that is,
checking the password configured on the domain controller) is
enabled for that user. The user's group memberships are added, or
if the user was previously added, any group membership changes
are updated.
The following illustration portrays the basic process.
Limitations for Multiple Domains
•
Trusted domains do not work for group relationships. Thus,
users cannot be automatically added or updated in groups from
trusted domains.
•
Only global NT groups, not local groups, are supported.
Global groups defined on a domain contain users only from
•
within the authentication domain.
• Local groups defined on a domain contain users from within
the domain and may contain other global groups from
within the domain and from trusted domains.
