Select a Security Mode. Netgear RNR4410 - ReadyNAS 1100 NAS Server

ReadyNAS Duo, NV+, and 1100

Select a Security Mode

The ReadyNAS Duo supports only the user security mode.

The ReadyNAS NV+ and 1100 support up to three security modes for protecting the files on your shares:

•

Share mode. This security mode offers just two levels of security for a share: Either you protect it with a password or you do not. If you do not password protect it, anyone can access it. If you do password protect it, anyone with the password can access it.

NETGEAR recommends that you do not use this security mode because it is not supported by Windows 7 or later and Mac OS X v10.6 or later. Also, it is available only on some versions of the ReadyNAS NV+ and 1100.

•

User mode. This security mode provides many more security options than the share mode. You can create any number of users, and select how much access to give each one: You can let the user just read files, or you can let the user read, create, and modify files. Each user must enter a password before accessing a share.

•

Domain mode. This security mode is similar to user mode, except information about users comes from a Windows server or Active Directory server that is on your local network.

User mode is preferred for home and small office users because it is supported by the latest versions of Windows and Mac OS X, provides strong security, and does not require a server.

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.
