Currently I am replicating user ids / passwords on each device which is less than ideal when one changes.
So what works well for a centralized user authentication?
I was looking at ldap but that seems less than well received. Maybe Kerberos?
I understand user authentication is not typically a NAS function so I am pushing the system.
So lets here some ideas. Thanks!

Wouldn't that require a Windows machine to serve up the AD? I dont want another appliance to be running 24 x 7.b0ssman wrote:nas4free supports active directory authentication. which is to some extends ldap.

Maybe I can find a hack for my router ?

Re: User authentication ideas
well it is possible in samba 4
but i just checked. nas4free is still running samba 3.
if you can get samba 4 running on your router then yes, but most router os currently only have 3.6 (openwrt,ipfire,pfsense)
freenas however has the new samba 4 integrated.

Re: User authentication ideas
I really don't want to abandon NAS4Free, I like the low power / small footprint.
Spent a couple hours this morning reading about Samba 4, looks interesting. Although to implement it might be easier to move up to a full FreeBSD install or maybe even Ubuntu. Not sure I want to go that way and have to learn a new Server OS. Been quite happy with NAS4Free.
Gotta do more research and play with a BIOS update on my server first.
