Newbie question regarding Active Directory & Samba
Hey all - I've got a new ReadyNAS 312 that I'm trying to integrate in to an existing network with a small non-profit I'm working with. They've got a CentOS (6.2) server running Samba (3.6), and are u...
I can't say that for sure.
What I'm saying is that, if you get samba/openLDAP to mimic active directory, it should work (if you can't tell the difference, then it's not different). Since LDAP is a norm, it should be possible.
If your configuration is different you MAY have problems depending on how Netgear chose to do this internally, and that I can't say, Netgear support will answer this.
So what I'm saying isn't that it's not possible, it's that there is no option to do so directly in the web interface (unless they used the term active directory for convenience instead of using the generic term which is LDAP). But it's a linux system (full Debian), as such I am pretty sure what you want to do is possible via SSH, but I'm not sure how much modification it would require and if this will have an impact on the web interface functionnalities. Once again, it's Netgear's job to answer this, I'm not qualified.
