Hello all,

Trying to put FreeNAS as the file server in the domain for the users to keep the data. Have installed FreeNAS and added the disks and all. I can browser the default share that I have mounted on /mnt/mnt.
What I want is to have directories inside the /mnt/mnt for every user named after the user and possibly give permissions based on the domain membership controlled by windows 2003 server acting as DC. So want to map domain users in FreeNAS.
This would protect other users from peeping or looking into the data for other users.
Is this possible? Can I create directories in FreeNAS from web GUI? Or is there any other method for that?
Right now server is working fine and windows users can browse the default share. But there is no privacy. Anyone can read/write into any directory. Can this be controlled?

Hi.
I'm no expert in FreeNAS but I use it at home and I have several users, and they can't read each others files or folders. But what you should be looking at is using the Active Directory in FreeNAS. I haven't tried it yet but I will soon. In theory it should get the users credentials from AD Domain Controller and that should take care of user rights.

I am specifically looking into AD integration so that once the password for the user is changed at AD level it should also be reflected in the permissions. And I will not need to create the user and password for each user at NAS level.
OpenFiler is closest to what I need. It integrates with AD nicely but the problem is that access control can be given on Group level and not user level. This can be managed though by creating a group for every user.
