Managing Your px4-300r Network Storage Array with Local and Active Directory Users

You can configure your px4-300r Network Storage Array to allow both local users and groups and Active Directory (AD) users and groups on the device simultaneously. While in AD mode, you can have existing local users and groups and also create new ones. In addition, both AD and local administrator users can log into and manage the px4-300r. This allows hybrid authentication on your px4-300r and, if desired, you can switch between AD mode and Workgroup mode.

This topic assumes you have already created an administrator user and enabled security on your px4-300r or have enabled AD.

Enabling Active Directory after Creating Users in Workgroup Mode

After you create users in Workgroup mode, you can switch your px4-300r to AD mode.

1.On the Device Identification page, select Active Directory.

2.Configure your AD settings. See Configuring your px4-300r for Active Directory for more information.

3.Click Apply.

After changing to AD mode, you are required to log back in to the px4-300r. Your px4-300r is now configured to allow both local administrators and AD administrators to log in.
