Managing Your px6-300d Network Storage with Local and Active Directory
Users
You can configure your px6-300d Network Storage 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 px6-300d. This allows hybrid authentication on your px6-300d 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
px6-300d or have enabled
AD
.
Enabling Active Directory after Creating Users in Workgroup Mode
After you create users in Workgroup mode, you can switch your px6-300d to AD mode.
1. On the Domain Management page, select Active Directory.
2. Configure your AD settings. See
Configuring your px6-300d for Active Directory
for more
information.
3. Click Apply.
After changing to AD mode, you are required to log back in to the px6-300d. Your px6-300d is now
configured to allow both local administrators and AD administrators to log in.
Logging in to Your px6-300d
When an administrator logs in to the px6-300d, the admin chooses between the device name or the AD
domain name.
1. At the Login screen, choose what type of user is logging in from the Active Directory Domain drop-
down:
l
to log in as a local user, choose the device name from the drop-down menu and enter the
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
2. Click Login.
