NT Domain Versus Local Authentication
The NASRaQ authenticates users in either local or an
integrated NT Domain mode. The local authentication mode
uses a locally stored password database. Each user's account
exists on the NASRaQ independent from other server
accounts the user may have. Using the local mode, user
accounts must be created and managed by the administrator.
The integrated NT Domain authentication mode means that
all user and group accounts are added from an existing NT
Domain. When a user accesses the NASRaQ, the password is
veriÞed by checking with a speciÞed Windows NT Primary
or Backup Domain controller. Users and groups are
automatically moved to the NASRaQ. The users screen
allows user modiÞcation for disk quota only.
Users
In the Users section, you can manage user settings and
administrator settings. To access this section, click the Users
button on the left side of the screen.
Figure 15 Users Administration Screen
Click User Management at the top of the screen to see the full
name of each NASRaQ user (for example, Jessica Smith) and
the name used to log in to the NASRaQ (for example, jsmith).
This is called the Òuser identityÓ or ÒuserID.Ó
