How to Connect An Active Directory Domain Using Jellyfish Manager
How to connect to the Active Directory domain via Jellyfish Manager:
-
Before proceeding, make sure that you know the Active Directory domain, as well as the domain username and password you will be connecting with.
-
Navigate to Advanced => Directory Services => Setup
-
Name: The AD domain name
-
Account Name: The AD username
-
Domain Account Password: The AD password for the AD user
-
Prefix: If there is a single sub domain, then the field will automatically be filled out. If there are multiple sub domians, you must pick the one you want to use from the list.
-
-
Save. Now the Jellyfish is connected to the Active Directory domain!
Differences in share permissions:
While connected to an Active Directory domain, the permissions for each share are flattened. This means that any user or group added to a share will have their respective read/write access set for each subdirectory of the share. You will no longer be able to set user and group permissions per directory.
