35 Setting Up the Dell™ DR Series System on HP Data Protector® 7.0 | April 2015
A Creating a storage device for CIFS
There are two options for HP Data Protector to authenticate to the DR Series system through CIFS.
 DR joined into domain: Integrate HP Data Protector Server and DR Series System with Active
Directory
o Ensure the AD user has appropriate ACLs to the DR Series System Container share
o Set the HP Data Protector service to run with this AD user <Domain\User>
 DR is standalone CIFS server: Make sure HP Data Protector Inet service and CRS service use the
same Log On user. DR Series System also has the same username and password defined in Local
Workgroup Users.
Also make sure this CIFS user has appropriate access permission to the DR Series System container
share. HP Data Protector services will use this user to authenticate to DR Series System share in
Workgroup mode.
1. To set the password for local CIFS administrator on the DR Series System, log on to the DR using
SSH.
a. Log on with username Administrator and password St0r@ge!
b. 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 HP Data Protector Service
account to use the CIFS administrator account.
2. Launch the Microsoft Services Snap-in by clicking Start > Run > Services.msc > Enter.
3. Locate the Data Protector Inet and Data Protector CRS Service. Right-click Properties and click
the Log On tab.
