Critical Considerations:
- CAUTION: Never configure permissions directly from the AD server (use a domain-joined Windows client).
- Essential Pre-Steps: Clear cached NAS connections via
net use */d /ybefore enabling Windows ACL. - Permission Inheritance: Apply permissions to "This folder, subfolders and files" for consistency.
Key Workflow:
- Join QSAN storage to AD domain
- Enable Windows ACL after clearing SMB sessions
- Configure granular access via AD users/groups (e.g.,
test1@domain) - Validate permissions through access-denied tests on restricted operations
