Configuring the NAS for Active Directory
Authentication
The NAS supports Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). This
chapter describes how to configure your NAS to join Microsoft Active Dir ectory
Services.
NOTE
The NAS supports Windows Server 2000 and above.
Before You Begin
Before you conf igure NAS for Active Directory authentication, ensure the following:
• You have ac cess to an Active Directory dom ain.
• You have ac cess to a properly con figured DN S s erver.
• You have the following infor ma tion:
- An Active Directory domain administrator account for authentication.
- The fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Active Directory domain.
- The NetBIOS domain name for the Active Directory domain.
- The hos tnam e or IP address (ho stna me is preferred) of the domain
controller running the Active Directory domain.
The domain controller is a Windows Server 2000 or above computer
running Active Directory Services.
- (Optional) The name of the Organizational Unit (OU) the NAS belongs to.
• The IP address of your NAS.
NOTE
It is important to note the time and date settings of your NAS device. A time
deviation of more than 5 minutes between the NAS and your Domain Controller
causes Kerberos Authentication to fail and you cannot join your domain.
