Chapter 3 Conguring Access Restrictions

TeraStation allows you to set permissions for users or groups to access specic shared folders. Four types of Access Restrictions are available:

• Access Restrictions for Users and/or Groups on the TeraStation

Follow the procedure on page 23 to congure.

• Access Restrictions on NT Domain

Follow the procedure on page 25 to congure.

• Access Restrictions on Active Directory

Follow the procedure on page 27 to congure.

Notes:

• This chapter describes the procedure to use Active Directory with Windows 2000 Server, Server 2003, and Server

2008.

• Depending on the security settings, the TeraStation may not be able to join, or may be able to join but may not be authenticated by a domain. In such a case, it is recommended to restrict access by delegating authority.

• Restrict access by delegating authority

Follow the procedure on page 29 to congure.

Notes:

• Access restrictions on the TeraStation are congured for shared folders in the root folder. Subfolders inherit their permissions from their parent folder and may not be congured separately.

• Permissions on the TeraStation are congured from within the Web Admin interface. Changing TeraStation

permissions on the y from within Windows or OS X is not supported.

Adding a Shared Folder

Notes:

• Shared folder names can contain up to 27 bytes (UTF-8). Alphanumeric characters, multi-byte characters,

-(hyphen), and _(underscore) may be used. Do not use a symbol as the rst character.

•Shared folder descriptions can contain up to 75 bytes (UTF-8). Alphanumeric characters, multi-byte characters,

-(hyphen), _(underscore), and spaces may be used. Do not use a symbol as the rst character.

• You may create up to 400 shared folders on the TeraStation.

You have created a new shared folder.

1 In the Web Admin interface, click [Shared Folders] - [Folder Setup].

2 Click [Create Folder].

1 Congure the desired settings for the new folder.

2 Click [Save].

[Recycle Bin]

Each shared folder on the TeraStation that is connected by SMB may have the recycle bin enabled or disabled from within the Web Admin interface. If enabled, deleted data from a shared folder will be temporarily moved to a [Trashbox] subfolder. To recover deleted data, open the [Trashbox] folder and move les.

Notes: To delete all les in the Recycle Bin, click [Shared Folders] - [Folder Setup] - [Empty recycle bin of each

folder] on the Web Admin interface.

[Read Only] Shares

A folder may be congured as read-only by selecting [Read Only] from [Shared Folder Attributes]. Notes: The default setting is [Read & Write].

A shared folder whose attribute is set to [Read Only] is read-only for all users, even if they are assigned write permissions on the share. When a shared folder is congured to [Read Only], the message “(Read Only)” is added to the description of that share folder.

[Hide Share]

In the Web Admin interface, click [Shared Folders] and select [Hide Share] on [Folder Mode (SMB Only) ]. Click [Save].

Only SMB shares may be hidden. If other protocols are checked for the share, such as [Apple], [Ftp], or [SFTP], you cannot select [Hide Share].

To open a hidden share, click [Start] - [Run] and enter \\TeraStation Name\Shared Folder name$\. Example: If your TeraStation is named “TS-XL001” with the default share “share” hidden, enter \\TS-XL001\share$\.

Technical Restrictions

• Windows does not support some characters that OS X and the TeraStation allow. So, if you create a lename on a Mac

with any of the following characters, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer. With Mac OS X 10.2 or later, you may have to connect to the TeraStation via AFP in order to display or copy any of the following characters: ? [ ] / ¥ = + < > ; : ” , | *

• Do not use any of the following words as a Username or Group Name: root, bin, daemon, sys, adm, tty, disk, lp, sync,

shutdown, halt, operator, nobody, mail, news, uucp, ftp, kmem, utmp, shadow, users, nogroup, all, none, hdusers, admin, guest, man, www, sshd, administrator, ftpuser, apache, mysql.

• Do not use any of the following words as a shared folder name: info, spool, usbdisk1, usbdisk2, usbdisk3, usbdisk4,

usbdisk5, lost+found, global, printers, homes, lp, auth, ram, disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4, disk5, disk6, disk7, disk8, array1, array2, array3, array4.

• When using multi-byte characters (such as Japanese), make folder and le names with 80 bytes or less. Total

pathlength is limited to 1024 bytes. You may not be able to copy a folder or le whose name is more than 80 bytes characters long, or whose pathname is more than 1024 bytes total.

• You cannot set hidden or read-only attributes to folders or les on a TeraStation from Windows. To set an attribute for

a share on the TeraStation, use the Web Admin interface. In [Shared Folders] - [Folder Setup], click the shared folder you want to congure. Select [Read Only] or [Read & Write] from [Shared Folder Attributes], and [Hide Share] from [Folder Mode (SMB Only)].

• If local characters aren’t displayed properly in a Shared Folder or Workgroup name, use alphabetical character.

• If you access a shared folder from a Macintosh computer, information les for Macintosh may be automatically

generated. Do not delete these les from a Windows computer. Otherwise, you may no longer access folders from Macintosh.

• A volume name mounted by [Finder] from Mac OS X 10.3.9 may be corrupted when connected via SMB. File names

and data should be ne.

• On Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.5.6, you cannot search by Spotlight while connected via AFP. In such a case, use SMB

connection or use Mac OS X 10.5.7 or later.

• TeraStation belongs to the default zone specied by an AppleShare Server. You cannot specify a zone.

• Date and Time stamp information stored on a TeraStation’s hard disk or a USB hard disk connected to the TeraStation

may be updated by an attached OS, and its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

• If you display size of hard drives through the Web Admin interface, it will show a larger value than that shown by

Windows’ drive properties.

• If you change a TeraStation’s settings or add a USB hard drive while transferring les, the le transfer may be aborted.

• Copying les to TeraStation is protected by the Journaling File System. However, if power is suddenly disconnected in

the middle of a le copy, the following events may occur:

- Data congured (TeraStation, User or Group names) may be lost.

- The copied le may be incomplete and it may not be deleted. In such a case, restart TeraStation and delete the le, and try copying the le again.

• Although you format TeraStation’s hard disk, [Percent Used] or [Amount Used] in the Web Admin interface will not show 0 (zero). This is because some space is used for the system.

• Set the TeraStation’s username and password the same as the user’s username and password for logging into the Windows network. If they are dierent, you may not be able to access share folders with access restrictions.

• Click [Shared Folders] - [Folder Setup] - [Empty recycle bin of each folder] in the Web Admin interface to delete all of the contents of the [Recycle Bin] folder in the shared folder.

• Do not set the same network address for LAN port 1 and LAN port 2, or data transmission may be unstable.

• If you want to access a dierent network from the TeraStation, use LAN port 1. LAN port 2 cannot access beyond the local subnet as it doesn’t have a default gateway.

Examples: You cannot use Mail Notication (cannot nd the mail server), or you cannot nd a TeraStation by IP address

to congure as a backup destination. To resolve, place the TeraStation on the same subnet as the device that you are trying to connect to via LAN port 2.

Adding Users

Notes:

• Usernames can contain up to 20 bytes (UTF-8). Do not use multi-byte characters. Alphanumeric characters, -(hyphen), _(underscore), .(dot), !, #, &, @, $, *, ^, % may be used. Do not use a symbol as the rst character.

• User descriptions can contain up to 75 bytes (UTF-8). Alphanumeric characters, multi-byte characters, -(hyphen), _(underscore), and spaces may be used. Do not use a symbol and space as the rst character.

• You may register up to 300 local users with the TeraStation.

• Passwords can contain up to 20 bytes (UTF-8). Do not use multi-byte characters. Alphanumeric character and the following characters may be use: - _ @ ! # $ % & ‘ ( ) * + , . / ; < > = ? [ ] ^ { } | ~ Do not use a symbol except -(hyphen) as the rst character.

• Set the TeraStation’s username and password the same as the user’s username and password for logging into the Windows network. If they are dierent, the user may not be able to access shared folders with access restrictions.

• Repetitive deletions and additions of users may cause the Quota feature to not work properly. Even though the data is copied by the backup function of the TeraStation, the Quota feature may not work properly if a user ID/group ID is duplicated. In such a case, use a user name/group name of an unused user ID or group ID.

• To assign Quotas for users, check [Enable] for User Quota and enter a limit in GB. Refer to “TeraStation Hard Drive Operating Guide“ for details.

• If the user ID is left blank, a user ID will be automatically assigned. When using the Quota feature, use numbers between 1000 and 1999 to set a group ID manually. Make sure that user ID are unique.

1 Click [Users/Groups] - [Local Users].

2 Click [Create User].

1 Enter [Username], [Description], and [Password].

2 Click [Save].

Importing Users

To import many users at once, enter the following information in the [Input CSV format data] eld on [Users/ Groups] - [Local Users] on the Web Admin interface, and click [Import].

Format of the user information: Username (required), Password (required), and Description (optional)

Example) username1, password1, description1 username2, password2, description2 username3, password3, description3 … … …

Notes: • It may take about 1 hour depending on the number of users you import. Please note that you cannot use

the Web Admin interface while the system is busy.

• Use commas as separators. Do not use spaces before or after the commas.

• If a line is incorrectly formatted, then the user in that line will not be registered.

• If a username is already registered on the TeraStation, that user will be overwritten.

• Commas should not be used in usernames, passwords, or user descriptions

Adding Groups

Notes:

• Group names can contain up to 20 bytes (UTF-8). Do not use multi-byte characters. Alphanumeric characters,

-(hyphen), _(underscore), and .(dot) may be used. Do not use a symbol as the rst character.

• Group descriptions can contain up to 75 bytes (UTF-8). Alphanumeric characters, multi-byte characters, -(hyphen), _(underscore), and spaces may be used. Do not use space as the rst character.

• You may register up to 300 groups with the TeraStation.

• Repetitive deletions and additions of groups may cause the quota feature to not work properly. Even though the data is copied by the backup function of the TeraStation, the Quota feature may not work properly if a user ID/group ID is duplicated. In such a case, use a user name/group name of an unused user ID or group ID.
