If "Automatic user registration" is checked, users that access any of the TeraStation's folders will be
automatically registered as external users. This process only applies with folders that have access restrictions
disabled. After new external users are added, disable this option to limit the number of authenticated user
accounts.

If "Use shared folder for authorization testing" is checked, the TeraStation will automatically create a read-
only shared folder. Enter the shared folder name. Users that access this specific folder will be automatically
registered as external users. If this setting is de-selected at a later time, the TeraStation will automatically
remove the folder.
Note: Connect to the authentication folder via SMB, not FTP or AFP. Automatic user registration may not work
with OS X 10.8 (or later) the first time. If this occurs, try rebooting the TeraStation then access the authentication
shared folder again.
