Windows Networking Configuration still see these shares. To completely hide shares from visibility from any protocols, the Security > Shares screen gives you access to a separate and distinct Hidden share option that hides a share from SMB, AFP, HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP clients (However, shares are not hidden from NFS clients, which cannot connect to shares that aren't visible. To hide shares from NFS clients, consider disabling NFS access on hidden shares). For new shares, select Create Share and click the Advanced Share Properties button to access the Hidden share option. For existing shares, select the share, click Properties, and click Advanced Share Properties to access the Hidden share option. Support for Windows Network Authentication This section summarizes important facts regarding the GuardianOS implementation of Windows network authentication. Windows Networking Options Windows networks use a domain controller to store user credentials. The domain controller can validate all authentication requests on behalf of other systems in the domain. Option Workgroup Domain (NT or ADS) Description In a workgroup environment, users and groups are stored and managed separately on each server in the workgroup. When operating in a Windows NT or Active Directory domain environment, the SnapServer is a member of the domain and the domain controller is the repository of all account information. Client machines are also members of the domain and users log into the domain through their Windows-based client machines. Windows or Active Directory domains resolve user authentication and group membership through the domain controller. Once joined to a Windows NT or Active Directory domain, the SnapServer imports and then maintains a current list of the users and groups on the domain. Thus, you must use the domain controller to make modifications to user or group accounts. Changes you make on the domain controller appear automatically on the SnapServer. Note Windows 2000 domain controllers must run SP2 or later. 30 SnapServer Administrator Guide
