If you haven't already done so, please read the Getting Started guide provided in the shipping box and the Quick Installation Guide on the CD-ROM. [. . . ] We'll first look at how we can control the services. Adding Shares To add a share, click on the Volume tab. If more than one volume is configured, click on the volume you wish to add the share. In the Share mode, you will enter the share name, description, and optional password and disk quota. The share password and share disk quota is available only in this security mode. In the User or Domain security modes, the Add Share tab consists only of fields for the share name and description. Password and disk quotas are account-specific. Page 43 43 In either case, you can add up to five shares at a time. Once you finish adding the shares, you can refer to Chapter 2 for instructions on how to access them from different client interfaces. Managing Shares Once you have added shares, you may want to manually fine-tune share access in the Share List tab. This tab has two looks, one for Share security mode and one for User and Domain mode. They're both similar except for the password and disk quota prompts which only appear in Share mode. If you want to delete a share, click on the checkbox to the far right of the share listing and click Delete. The columns to the left of the Delete checkbox represent the services that are currently enabled, and the access icons in those columns summarize the access rights to the share for each of the services. You can move the mouse pointer over the access icons to get a quick glimpse of the access settings. The settings represent: Disabled ­ Access to this share is disabled. Read/Write Access ­ Access to this share is read/write. Page 44 44 Read Access with exceptions ­ Either (1) access to this share is read-only and only allowed for specified hosts, (2) access is read-only except for one or more users or groups that are granted read/write permission, or (3) access is disabled except for one or more users or groups that are granted read-only privilege. Write Access with exceptions ­ Either (1) access to this share is read/write and only allowed for specified hosts, (2) access is read/write except for one or more users or groups that are restricted to read-only access, or (3) access is disabled except for one or more users or groups that are granted read/write privilege. You can click on the access icons to bring up the Share Options tab where you can set the access rules for each file protocol. Keep in mind that access options will differ between protocols. SETTING SHARE ACCESS IN SHARE MODE In Share mode, the CIFS/Windows share options tab will look as follows: In this tab, you can select the default access at the top and optionally specify the host(s) that you wish to allow restrict access to in the Share Access Restriction box. Share Access Restriction For instance, select read-only for default access and list the hosts you wish to allow access to. For example, to allow only host 192. 168. 2. 101 read-only access to the share, specify the following: Default: Hosts allowed access: Read-only 192. 168. 2. 101 Multiple hosts can be separated with commas (see Appendix B for more description of valid host formats. ) For example, if you wish to limit access to the share to particular hosts, you can enter host IP addresses or valid DNS hostnames in the Host allowed access field. In addition, you can enter a range of hosts using common IP range expressions such as: 192. 168. 2. , 192. 168. 2. 0/255. 255. 255. 0, 192. 168. 2. 0/24 The above designations all allow hosts with IP addresses 192. 168. 2. 1 through 192. 168. 2. 254. Page 45 45 Towards the bottom of the Windows [CIFS] tab, you'll notice the Share Display, Recycle Bin, and Advanced CIFS Permission options. Refer to the description for these options below. SETTING SHARE ACCESS IN USER AND DOMAIN MODES In User or Domain modes, the same tab would look as follows (note the addition of read-only and write-enabled user and group fields): Share Access Restriction If you wish to limit share access to particular users and/or groups, you can enter their names in the Read-only users, Read-only groups, Write-enabled users, and Write-enabled group fields. The names must be valid accounts, either on the ReadyNAS or on the domain controller. For instance, if you wish to allow read-only access to all and read/write access only user fred and group engr, you would set the following: Default: Write-enabled users: Write-enabled groups: Read-only fred engr If you wish to limit the above access only to hosts 192. 168. 2. 101 and 192. 168. 2. 102, set the following: Default: Hosts allowed access: Write-enabled users: Write-enabled groups: Read-only 192. 168. 2. 101, 192. 168. 2. 102 fred engr If you wish to specify some users and groups for read-only access and some for read/write access, and disallow all other users and groups, enter the following: Default: Hosts allowed access: Read-only users: Read-only groups: Write-enabled users: Write-enabled groups: Disabled 192. 168. 2. 101, 192. 168. 2. 102 mary, joe marketing, finance fred engr Page 46 46 Note that access control will differ slightly from service to service. Share Display Option Restricting access to a share will not prevent users from seeing the share in the browse list. In certain instances, this might not be desirable, such as for backup shares that you may want to prevent users from seeing. For example, to access a hidden share, enter \\host\share in the Windows Explorer. The ReadyNAS can have a Recycle Bin for each share for Windows users. You will see the Enable Recycle Bin option at the bottom of the Windows [CIFS] access tab. [. . . ] Name length must be 15 characters or less. Host A valid IP address or a host name. Host Name A valid host name must conform to the following restrictions: Name must only consist of characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and the symbols ­ (dash) and . A fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) must have no more than 63 characters in each section separated by . Example of a valid FQDN: firstpart. secondpart. thirdpart. com. ReadyNAS Host Name A valid host name except the first part or short host name must be 15 characters or less due to NetBIOS name length restriction. Page 94 94 Host Expression A valid host expression is either a valid host or the common IP expression form specifying a range of addresses in a network; for example: 192. 168. 2. 192. 168. 2. 0/255. 255. 255. 0 192. 168. 2. 0/24 Share Name Name must only consist of characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and the symbols ­ (dash) and .
