ReadyNAS 2100 User Manual
Managing User Access 3-5
v1.1, June 2009
You can elect to have the ReadyNAS 2100 automatically auto-detect the domain controller, or you
can specify the IP address. Sometimes auto-detect fails, and you need to supply the IP address of
the domain controller to join the domain.
If you have a large number of users in your domain, you may want to clear the Display users from
trusted domains... check box. The FrontView management system might slow down to an
unusable state.
Click Apply to join the domain. If Auto-detection is successful, users and groups from the domain
now have login access to the shares on this device.
Accounts are managed on the domain controller. The ReadyNAS 2100 simply pulls the account
information from the controller and displays it in the Accounts tab screen if you have the Display
users from trusted domains… option enabled. If you wish, you can assign a disk quota to the
domain users and groups. If e-mail addresses are specified, users are automatically notified when
approaching and reaching their quotas.
Setting Up User and Group Accounts
In the User & Group Accounts security mode, the Accounts tab screen allows you to manage
user and group accounts on the ReadyNAS 2100.
Note: At this time you can use of the ReadyNAS 2100 in a domain environment that
serves up to 32,000 users.
