Join IoSafe NAS to Directory Service
Go to
Control Panel
>
Directory Service
to join your IoSafe NAS to a directory service as a Windows domain or
LDAP client. When the IoSafe NAS is joined to a directory service, you can manage domain/LDAP users' access
privileges to shared folders and DSM applications and enable their home service.
Joining a Windows Domain
Click the
Domain
tab, and enter domain name and DNS server (optional) to join the IoSafe NAS to a Windows
ADS domain. In the window that appears, enter the user name and password for the administrator of the domain
server.
After IoSafe NAS joins the domain, domain users can log in to IoSafe NAS with their domain account and
password.
Note:
If your domain user name includes “%” and “$”, you might not be able to access your home folder. Please ask your
domain administrator to give you a new user name.
Domain groups
Domain Admins
and
Enterprise Admins
will be added to the local group
administrators
automatically. In other words, domain users in these groups have administrative right on the IoSafe NAS, including
performing DSM/CIFS/FTP/AFP/WebDAV applications.
You can also configure domain users’ access privileges to the shared folders on IoSafe NAS. See "Allow Domain
Users or Groups to Access Shared Folders" for more information.
Binding to an LDAP Server
LDAP allows your IoSafe NAS to join an existing directory service as an LDAP client, and then retrieve user or
group information from an LDAP server (or "directory server"). The profiles option allows you to smoothly connect
to different types of LDAP servers, such as standard (Synology Directory Servers or Mac Open Directory), IBM
Lotus Domino servers, or customize your own profile settings. You can manage LDAP users' or groups' access
privileges to DSM applications and shared folders, just as you would with DSM local users or groups.
