Host LDAP Service with Directory Server
Directory Server is an add-on package based on LDAP version 3 (RFC2251) that allows your DiskStation to
become an account administration center to centralize the account management of all connecting clients, and
provides authentication service for them.
To install Directory Server on your DiskStation, go to Main Menu > Package Center. For more information about
Directory Server, run and launch the package, and then click its Help button (with a question mark) at the top-
right corner. To learn more about how to access DiskStation's Directory Server with a LDAP client, refer to the
Directory Server User's Guide available at Synology's Download Center
Manage Users and Groups
Go to Main Menu > Control Panel > User or Group to create users or groups, and allow or deny their access to
different shared folders.
