DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 17
Identification
The DataSafe NAS must be given a name. Clients use
this name to access the file shares that reside on the
unit.
The DataSafe NAS can be configured as a member of
one of the following:
n A Microsoft NT 4 domain
n A Microsoft Active Directory domain
n A Workgroup.
If no workgroups exist on the network (for exam-
ple, if this is a Unix environment), this option
should be selected and any arbitrary name used.
User accounts may also be created locally on the
DataSafe NAS; however, using a domain or directory
eliminates the need to create local user accounts for
every user of the DataSafe NAS.
A good practice after joining a domain is to add one or
more domain users to the local administrators group,
then login under those user names to administer the
DataSafe NAS.
To set the name and domain membership of
the DataSafe NAS
1. On the primary menu bar, click Network Setup.
2. On the Network Setup page, click Identification.
The Server Appliance Identity page (Figure 4)
displays.
