CHAPTER 3: NT AUTHENTICATION SETUP JOIN THE NT DOMAIN
102 8E6 TECHNOLOGIES, R3000 ENTERPRISE FILTER AUTHENTICATION USER GUIDE
Information should only be entered in the NT Authentication
Server Details frame if the R3000 will use the NT Authenti-
cation method to authenticate users.
NOTE: The following Windows servers are supported by the
current version of authentication: NT 4.0 SP4 or later, Mixed
Mode 2000, and 2003. A Windows 2003 server may require
changes to the default settings for SMB signing to allow commu-
nications.
The account that is provided for accessing the Windows
server must have the administrative rights to add a machine
account to the specified domain on the R3000. This require-
ment ensures the R3000 will be able to authenticate users
from the Windows domain.
1. Enter the alphanumeric Name of Domain on which this
server resides, using capital letters.
2. Using capital letters, enter up to 15 alphanumeric charac-
ters of the PDC NetBIOS Name, which is the computer
name of the authentication server, or Primary Domain
Controller.
3. Enter the PDC IP Address, which is the authentication
server's IP address.
4. Enter the Administrator Username and Administrator
Password. This account used for joining the domain
must have administrator privileges.
5. Click Join Domain to save your entries and to submit a
request for the R3000 to join the domain.
TIP: If entries in the NT Authentication Server Details frame are
modified after joining the domain, you must join the domain
again.
NOTE: Click Save if you are only pre-configuring the box. This
option lets you save credentials without re-entering the informa-
tion each time the domain is joined, or if the R3000 gets out of
sync with the Primary Domain Controller.
