67 Notes: • The authentication mode has no effect on backups performed using FileSafe Express. • If you use Active Directory authentication mode, the User must change password at next logon check box must be cleared in the properties for each user on the Active Directory server who will be accessing shared folders on the storage system. In addition, each user's password can be no longer than 24 characters. • If you use Active Directory authentication mode, you must add any Mac OS X users to your Active Directory server in order to provide those users with access to shared folders on the storage system. • Active Directory authentication mode does not automatically include a guest account. However, the Active Directory administrator can create one on the Active Directory server. • "ftp" and "anonymous" are reserved for internal use. It is recommended that you do not create user accounts with these names in the Active Directory server. • It is recommended that you select the root of all the Organization Units (OU) when joining an Active Directory domain in order to have a listing of every user in every OU. If you need to change the OU, you can switch to local mode and the rejoin the domain. However, once you rejoin the domain, user rights to shares will need to be set up again. • If you use Active Directory authentication mode, and the clocks of the storage system and the Active Directory server differ by more than five minutes, errors will occur whenever the storage system tries to connect to the Active Directory server (that is, when you set the authentication mode, when synchronization between the two systems occurs, and when users access shared folders). You must adjust the storage system time, time zone, or both to ensure that they match (as described in "Changing the system settings" on page 165) Caution: Changing the authentication mode deletes all of your existing user data and shared folder assignments. If any users are currently accessing shared folders, they will remain connected until they disconnect from the shared folders or shut down their computer.
