Setting Security Access Modes

The ReadyNAS offers the User and Domain security access options.
Select the appropriate option based on the required level of security and your current
network authentication scheme.
User
NETGEAR recommends user security mode for the small and medium-size office or
workgroup environments. User mode allows you to set share access restrictions based on
user and group accounts. In this security mode, the administrator must set and maintain user
and group accounts on the ReadyNAS device itself. See User Security Mode on page 58 for
more information about using this option.
Domain
The Domain security mode is appropriate for department or corporate environments where a
centralized Windows-based domain controller or active directory server is present. The
ReadyNAS device integrates into this environment by creating a trusted relationship with the
domain or ADS authentication server and allowing all user authentications to occur there.
This eliminates the need for separate account administration on the device itself. See
Domain Security Mode on page 59 for more information about using this option.
