ReadyNAS for Business RAIDiator 4.2.17 
Setting Security Access Modes
The ReadyNAS offers the User and Domain security access options. 
Select the appropriate option based on the required level of security and your current network 
authentication scheme.
User
NETGEAR recommends user security mode for the small and medium-size office or 
workgroup environments. User mode allows you to set share access restrictions based on 
user and group accounts. In this security mode, the administrator must set and maintain user 
and group accounts on the ReadyNAS device itself. See 
55 for 
more information about using this option.
Domain
The Domain security mode is appropriate for department or corporate environments where a 
centralized Windows-based domain controller or active directory server is present. The 
ReadyNAS device integrates into this environment by creating a trusted relationship with the 
domain or ADS authentication server and allowing all user authentications to occur there. 
This eliminates the need for separate account administration on the device itself. See
