An Authentication Shared Folder is created on the TeraStation.
When a user who is registered to the specified External Server opens the Authentication Shared Folder, he/she
will be automatically registered as a TeraStation user (you can directly register users).
Notes:
• A user who is automatically registered will belong to the "hdusers" group. They can be set to belong to any
group from the Group settings.
• Access Restrictions to shared folders can be set for the username obtained.
• User Name registered will be displayed when clicking Users/Groups - External Users. To delete a user that
automatically registered, select the user and click Delete External Users.
• When connecting using AFP and FTP, always use an IP address. Authentication may fail if a Server Name is used.
• Enter the IP address when specifying a server in a different subnet.
• AFP and FTP connections do not allow obtaining user information by delegating authority to External SMB
Server.
