It is now possible to access the newly created share from any Windows server on the domain
using the credentials of anyone who has permission to access the share. If a permitted user
is logged into Windows, access to the share is granted automatically with those permissions.

IMPORTANT:

When switching from None or User authentication mode to AD authentication

mode, HP recommends that the user logs out and back into the Windows client where the
share is mounted. This ensures the new authentication settings of the CIFS server are enforced.

However, when switching authentication modes in one service set, this will also impact any
backup or restore jobs in progress on the other service set of the couplet. Best practice is to
configure authentication settings once only at installation or, if later, during a maintenance
window when no backup or restore jobs are running on the appliance.

NOTE:

The HP StoreOnce Backup system does not support creating shares from Windows

Computer Management Consoles. Shares must be created from the StoreOnce Management
Console.

To create Local Administrators for the CIFS server

After adding the StoreOnce device to the AD domain, a new Local Administrators section appears
on the lower half of the CIFS server tab. This allows the creation of users with Administrator access
to all shares created on the CIFS server. (The section provides a way of implementing Delegated
Administration, which is not available for the StoreOnce device from the Active Directory
Management tool.)

IMPORTANT:

When adding AD domain users through the CIFS server tab, the users are

automatically created as Local Administrators whether or not they are admin users on the AD
domain.
