Table 6 Authentication settings (continued)

NOTE: When creating a new share in User Authentication mode, the user must log out and back

into Windows before they can access the newly created share.

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

Active Directory

(AD)

authentication can provide the names of domain users that will have access. See Configuring users on AD (CIFS

shares only) (page 24) for detailed instructions.

Creating a CIFS share

Procedure 1

1. Log on to the Web Management Interface for the appliance.

2. Select NAS and display the Shares tab. This tab is used to manage all shares for both CIFS

and NFS servers.

3. Click Create Share.

4. Provide the following information:

• Name: the name that will be used to identify the share in Windows

• Description: a text description of the share (optional)

• Access Protocol: Select CIFS

The Network Path is <IP address>/<share name>. It is also possible to connect using

\\<Fully Qualified domain name>\<share name>.

There is also an option to enable Write Protection. This should only be used if you want to

prevent further backup to the share. If you enable it, any backup jobs currently using that

share will fail.
