ReadyNAS 2100 User Manual Select the most appropriate option based on the required level of security and your current network authentication scheme. • User. A more appropriate selection for the medium-size office or workgroup environment is the User security mode. This mode allows you to set up user and group accounts to allow for more specific share access restrictions. Access to shares requires proper login authentication, and you can specify which users and/or groups you wish to offer access. As an example, you might want to restrict company financial data to just users belonging to one particular group. In this security mode, the administrator need to set up and maintain user and group accounts on the network storage device itself. In addition, each user account is automatically set up with a private home share on the network storage. • Domain. The Domain security mode is most appropriate for larger department or corporate environments, where a centralized Windows-based domain controller or active directory server is present. The network storage device integrates in this environment by creating a trusted relationship with the domain/ADS authentication server and allowing all user authentications to occur there, eliminating the need for separate account administration on the device itself. Also, in this security mode, each domain/ADS user is automatically set up with a private home share on the ReadyNAS 2100. Note: The FrontView management system slows down in proportion to the number of users in the domain. Do not use Domain mode in an environment with more than 10,000 domain users. User Security Mode This option is ideal for medium-size offices or workgroups. Select this option if you would like to control access to shares based on user or group accounts and if your network does not utilize a domain controller for authentication. Figure 3-2 If you select this option, you will need to create a user account for anyone accessing this device. This option supports setting disk quotas on a per-user or per-group basis. 3-2 Managing User Access v1.0, May 2009
