File permission semantics

Your filer can use PC (Windows) or UNIX style permission semantics. For additional information about PC and UNIX style permission semantics, refer to "Choosing between PC-style or UNIX-style permissions."

File permission semantics Circle one:
  • PC (Windows) style
  • UNIX style

Authentication mode

The filer can use a Windows NT domain controller or a UNIX password database to authenticate users.

Note: If the filer is in a Windows workgroup, the filer uses the UNIX password database.

 
Authentication mode Circle one:
  • Windows NT domain controller
  • UNIX password database

Filer name

The CIFS service can use the same host name you selected for the filer (the default) or a different name. The CIFS name cannot exceed 15 characters, and can consist of the following characters: letters (A-Z), numerals (0-9), !, #, $, @, %, `, (, ), -, ^, _, {, }, and ~

If the host name you selected for the filer does not meet the CIFS naming conventions, setup creates a legal name by discarding illegal characters and truncating the name to 15 characters.

Filer name  

Windows NT domain or Windows workgroup name

The filer can be a member of a Windows NT domain or a Windows workgroup. Enter the name of the domain or workgroup to which the filer belongs. For additional information about domain and workgroup configurations, refer to "Deciding on a domain or workgroup configuration."
