None (no authentication)
Setting authentication to
None
provides a simple CIFS server configuration that allows
for the creation of shares with no authentication. Any user or computer can mount and
access the shares created on the HP StoreOnce Backup system with this setting.
•
User authentication
Setting authentication to
User
provides a method of securing the CIFS shares so that they
can be accessed only by specified users local to the CIFS Server. Once the server has
been set to
User
mode, it is possible to create new local users by selecting
Create User
.
See
“Configuring user authentication” (page 30)
for detailed instructions.
•
Active Directory (AD) authentication
Setting authentication to
AD
allows the CIFS server to join a Windows Active Directory
domain. Access to individual CIFS shares is then managed from the Windows domain
controller server which can provide the names of domain users that will have access. See
Configuring CIFS Server with AD and CIFS Share with AD domain users (page 31)
for
detailed instructions.
