ReadyNAS Duo, NV+, and 1100
Set Up a Domain Server
If your ReadyNAS NV+ or 1100 storage system is on the same network as a Windows server
or Active Directory server, you can use the user and group information that is on the server. If
you select the
Display users from trusted domains
option, the user and group information
displays in the Accounts screen and you can add information that is specific to your
ReadyNAS system, as follows:
•
Specify disk quotas for users and groups.
•
Specify email addresses for users, so they can be notified about their disk quotas.
NETGEAR does not recommend using domain mode if the server has more than 1,000
users.
This procedure applies only to the ReadyNAS NV+ and 1100.
To set up a domain server:
1.
From the
Domain Type
drop-down list, select
ADS
(Active Directory server) or
Domain
.
2.
Enter the name of the domain.
3.
If you select ADS, enter the address of the realm and the OUs (organizational units).
Specify nested OUs by separating them with commas. Enter the lowest-level OU first.
4.
(Optional) If you want your system to detect the IP address for the domain controller
automatically, in the Domain Controller
pane, select
Auto detect
.
If auto detect fails, enter the IP address in the field.
5.
Enter the domain administrator’s name and password.
6.
(Optional) To display users from the server in the Accounts screen, select the
Display users
from trusted domains
check box.
If you have a large number of users, you might want to clear this check box to avoid
slowing FrontView when it displays the Accounts screen.
7.
Click the
Apply
button.
Your settings are saved.
