4. The CIFS authentication panel is used to specify how you want the NAS
Gateway 500 to authenticate Windows users that have access to defined
shares. Windows users can be authenticated in two ways:
v Active Directory or NT4 Domain - When a user enters their username and
password into a Windows computer, they are passed through to a central
server, which authenticates the user.
v Locally on each machine - Each client keeps track of the users that log into
it. When a user types their username and password, it is verified on the client
on which it was entered. Password encryption can be handled three ways:
a. No Encryption - Only plain text passwords are accepted.
b. Only Encryption - Only encrypted passwords are accepted.
c. Negotiate Encryption - Clients can negotiate either plain text or encrypted
passwords.
Use the pull-down box to specify the desired encryption.
