A.1

Authenticating to DR through CIFS

There are two options for NVBU to authenticate to DR Series Deduplication Appliance through CIFS.

1. DR joined into domain: Integrate NVBU Server and DR Series Deduplication Appliance with Active

Directory

a. Ensure the AD user has appropriate ACLs to the DR Series Deduplication Appliance Container

share

b. Set the NVBU service to run with this AD user

2. DR is standalone CIFS server: Make sure Windows NVBU services and DR Series Deduplication

Appliance have the same username and password defined in Local Workgroup Users.
Also make sure this CIFS user has appropriate access permission to the DR Series Deduplication
Appliance container share. NVBU services will use this user to authenticate to DR Series
Deduplication Appliance share in Workgroup mode.

a. To set the password for local CIFS administrator on the DR Series Deduplication Appliance, log on

to the DR using SSH.

i. Log on with username Administrator and password St0r@ge!
ii. Run the following command:

Authenticate - - set - - user administrator

NOTE: The CIFS administrator account is a separate account from the administrator account used to
administer the appliance. After an authentication method is chosen, set the NVBU service account to use
the CIFS administrator account.

b. Launch Microsoft Services Snap- in by clicking Start > Run > Services.msc > Enter.
c. Locate the NVBU Services. Right- click Properties and click the Log On tab.
