If you are using RPC authentication, you might need to configure pass-through authentication for SnapDrive for Windows between a Windows host and a storage system.
Pass-through authentication might be required in the following situations:
- You do not have a domain controller available.
- You want to install your Windows host as a stand-alone server in a workgroup environment without any dependency on another system for authentication, even if there is a domain controller available.
- Your Windows host and the storage system are in two different domains.
- Your Windows host is in a domain and you want to keep the storage system in a workgroup with no direct access by domain users or the domain controller.
