The Ways To Authenticate Users And Groups (Security Modes)

By default, user security is managed locally on the Appliance. Everyone on your network has access to the appliance immediately after installation. The Security tab allows you to change from this local mode to native mode (authenticate Users and Groups against your Active Directory Services) or to mixed mode (authenticate Users and Groups against your Primary Domain Controller). You can limit access to the appliance to particular users or groups of users in one of three ways:

•Authenticate Users and Groups against your Active Directory Services.

•Authenticate Users and Groups against your Primary Domain Controller.

•Authenticate Users and Groups against your LDAP Server.

•Manage Users and Groups with ApplianceView.

Note Changing security modes may cause some users to lose access to shared files. You may need to restore user access rights by granting access in the new security mode.
