ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition User Guide

OU (Organization Unit). You can specify nested OUs by separating OU entries with commas. The lowest level OU must be specified first.

You can elect to have the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition automatically auto-detect the domain controller, or you can specify the IP address. Sometimes auto-detect fails, and you need to supply the IP address of the domain controller to join the domain.

If you have a large number of users in your domain, you may want to clear the Display users from trusted domains... check box. The FrontView management system might slow down to an unusable state.

Note: NETGEAR does not recommend the use of the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition in a domain environment with more than 10,000 users at this time.

Click Apply to join the domain. If Auto-detection is successful, users and groups from the domain now have login access to the shares on this device.

Accounts are managed on the domain controller. The ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition simply pulls the account information from the controller and displays it in the Accounts tab screen if you have the Display users from trusted domains… option enabled. If you wish, you can assign a disk quota to the domain users and groups. If e-mail addresses are specified, users are automatically notified when approaching and reaching their quotas.

Setting Up User and Group Accounts

In the User & Group Accounts security mode, the Accounts tab screen allows you to manage user and group accounts on the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition.

Managing Groups

To add a new group:

1.Select Manage Groups from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner.

2.Select the Add Group tab if it is not already selected. You can add up to five groups at a time. If you expect to have just one big set of users for one group, you can forego adding a new group and accept the default users group.

3.Click Apply to save your settings.

If you want, a user can belong to multiple groups. Once you have created user accounts, you can specify secondary groups that the user can belong to. This allows for finer-grain settings for share
