The Ways To Authenticate Users And Groups (Security
Modes)
By default, user security is managed locally on the Appliance. Everyone on your
network has access to the appliance immediately after installation. The Security
tab allows you to change from this local mode to native mode (authenticate Users
and Groups against your Active Directory Services) or to mixed mode
(authenticate Users and Groups against your Primary Domain Controller). You
can limit access to the appliance to particular users or groups of users in one of
three ways:
•
Authenticate Users and Groups against your Active Directory Services.
•
Authenticate Users and Groups against your Primary Domain Controller.
•
Authenticate Users and Groups against your LDAP Server.
•
Manage Users and Groups with ApplianceView.
Note
Changing security modes may cause some users to lose access to
shared files. You may need to restore user access rights by granting
access in the new security mode.
