The shared folder for authentication should be created on the LinkStation
A user that has been registered to the specified authentication server will be automatically
registered as a user on the LinkStation when they open the shared folder for authentication (you
can also register users directly).
Configuration of the Authentication Server is complete.
Notes:
• A user who is automatically registered will belong to the “hdusers” group. They added to other
groups from within Group settings.
• You can restrict access to shared folders by username or group.
• The names of registered users are listed in [Users/Groups] - [External Users]. To delete an
automatically registered user, select that user and click [Delete].
• When connecting through AFP or FTP, always use an IP address. Using a server name may cause
problems with authentication.
• To specify a server from another subnet, enter its IP address.
• AFP and FTP connections do not support delegating authority to an external SMB server.
