B Creating a storage device for CIFS
There are two options for ASG-Time Navigator to authenticate to a DR Series system through CIFS.
• The DR Series system is joined into an Active Directory Domain: Integrate ASG-Time Navigator and
DR Series system with Active Directory and ensure the Active Directory user has appropriate ACLs
to the DR Series system container share.
• The DR Series system is a standalone CIFS server: Make sure this CIFS user has appropriate access
permission to the DR Series system container share. The ASG-Time Navigator Backup Node will
use this user to authenticate to the DR Series system share in Workgroup mode. To set the
password for local CIFS administrator on the DR Series System, log on to the DR using SSH.
o Log on with username Administrator and password St0r@ge!
o Run the following command:
authenticate --set --user administrator
Note: The CIFS administrator account is a separate account from the administrator account used to
administer the appliance. After an authentication method is chosen, set the ASG-Time Navigator service
account to use the CIFS administrator account.
