For more information about managing users and groups with Active Directory, see your
Active Directory documentation.
Keep the following precautions in mind when using Active Directory mode:
•
The same time must be set on your Active Directory server and your ReadyNAS
system clocks. We recommend that you choose your domain controller as your NTP
server to ensure that time settings are the same.
•
The DNS server that you use must be able to resolve the host name of the domain
controller. We recommend that you point your ReadyNAS to the Active Directory
DNS to ensure that host names can be resolved.
•
If you do not set the NTP server, the ReadyNAS device will set an NTP server.
User Accounts
Use Local Users mode to manually create, manage, and delete user accounts on your
ReadyNAS storage system.
The user account procedures assume that your ReadyNAS system is currently in Local
Users mode. For more information about changing user and group management modes,
see User and Group Management Modes on page 138.
You enable or disable home folder snapshot protection, enable or disable the use and
capacity of private time machines, and specify the default primary group for a user
through settings for the default user (Accounts > Default User).
Configure Default User Settings
When you create a user account, whether home folder snapshot protection is used,
whether the user can have a private Time Machine, and the default group membership
are all controlled by settings for the default user. You can change these defaults.
This procedure assumes that your ReadyNAS system is currently in Local Users mode.
For more information about changing user and group management modes, see User
and Group Management Modes on page 138.
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS admin page.
2.
Select Accounts > Default User.
The default user settings display.
You can turn home snapshot protection on or off, permit or disallow the use of private
Time Machines, and set their capacity, and set the default primary group for new
users. These settings apply to new users. They do not change the settings for existing
users.
