PBSA
is a simple model that allows only users having the correct password to gain
access to an individual share.
UBSA
access is more flexible. An administrator can grant permissions to shares to each
individual user. An individual user can be assigned either no access, full access, or read
access on a share-by-share basis. If you select USBA, you must also designate a pool.
The DiskGO uses this pool to save user information. If no disk pool exists, you must
create one (see
“Creating a New Disk Pool”
) before you select UBSA.
Note
: A pool is a
specified amount of disk space that contains one or more shares (see
“Disk
Management” for
information about creating and managing disk pools).
To configure a DiskGO as a member of a Workgroup
1.
Select the
Workgroup Member Mode
checkbox.
2.
Type the workgroup name in the
Workgroup Name
box.
3.
Select either the
Password Based Share Access
check box or the
User
Based Share
Access
check box. If you select the
User Based Share Access
check box, in the
Pool
Name
list, click the pool where user accounts are stored.
Domain Member Mode
A domain is a workgroup with the added feature of single sign-on. With single sign-on, a
user has one account that is shared across multiple computers. Also, the user can access
resources on another computer without having to re-authenticate. Computers in a domain
are controlled from a central location (domain controller) and users must obtain central
authentication before joining the domain. If your network uses a domain, you may prefer
to configure the DiskGO to connect to the network as a domain member. When the
DiskGO is configured in this way, the DiskGO software sends a request to the PDC to
authenticate users, which provides user- level security. Although the DiskGO can be in
only one domain at a time, you can configure the DiskGO to connect to two different
domains. This allows you to easily switch between the two domains using the same user
name and password.
To configure the DiskGO 3.5” Network Hard Drive as a member of a domain
1.
Select the
Domain Member Mode
check box.
2.
Type the domain name in the
Domain Name
box.
If the DiskGO is recognized in this domain, the device rejoins the domain without
authentication. Otherwise, you must type the domain administrator user name in the
Admin User
box and the password in the
Admin Password
box.
For DiskGO drives that are also configured to support Network File System (NFS), the
DiskGO assigns UNIX
®
user IDs (UID) and group IDs (GID) to files created through the
Common Internet File System (CIFS). User IDs are in the range 35000–40000; group IDs
are in the range 42000–43000.
