Chapter 3 User & Group Management Authentication validates a user's identity by requiring the user to provide a registered login name and corresponding password. SnapServers ship with predefined local users and groups that allow administrative and guest user access to the server via all protocols. Administrators may choose to join the SnapServer to a traditional Windows NT or Active Directory domain, and Windows clients can then authenticate to the server using their domain credentials. To accommodate NFS clients, the SnapServer can also join an NIS domain, and the SnapServer can look up user and group IDs maintained by the domain. For authentication control beyond the guest account, Macintosh and FTP client login credentials can be created locally on the sever.
