Managing Your px4-300r Network Storage Array with
Local and Active Directory Users
Managing Your px4-300r Network Storage Array with Local and Active
Directory Users
You can configure your px4-300r Network Storage Array to allow both local users and groups and Active
Directory (AD) users and groups on the device simultaneously. While in AD mode, you can have existing
local users and groups and also create new ones. In addition, both AD and local administrator users can
log into and manage the px4-300r. This allows hybrid authentication on your px4-300r and, if desired, you
can switch between AD mode and Workgroup mode.
This topic assumes you have already created an administrator user and enabled security on your
px4-300r or have enabled AD.
Enabling Active Directory after Creating Users in Workgroup Mode
After you create users in Workgroup mode, you can switch your px4-300r to AD mode.
1. On the Device Identification page, select Active Directory.
2. Configure your AD settings. See Configuring your px4-300r for Active Directory for more
information.
3. Click Apply.
After changing to AD mode, you are required to log back in to the px4-300r. Your px4-300r is now
configured to allow both local administrators and AD administrators to log in.
Logging in to Your px4-300r
When an administrator logs in to the px4-300r, the admin chooses between the device name or the AD
domain name.

down:

username and password
l to log in as an Active Directory user, choose the Active Directory domain name from the drop-
down menu and enter the username and password
