Allow Self-service Password Reset
If you would like to allow users to reset forgotten passwords via email, you can click Password Settings and tick
the box marked Allow non-admin users to reset forgotten passwords via email. When this option is enabled,
a link marked Forgot your password? will appear on the DSM login page. If a user forgets his password, he can
click this link and enter his username. In this case, the system will send a message to the user containing a link
to reset his forgotten password.
For detailed instructions and notes, please see DSM Help.
Apply Password Strength Rules
You can enable password strength service to make sure DSM users’ passwords are secure enough to withstand
malicious login attempts. Click Password Settings to configure this measure of the effectiveness of a password.
Note:
Password Strength rules only work for passwords created or modified after the Password Strength service is
enabled. Existing passwords won’t be affected by the rules.
The rules won’t apply to the passwords of users created by importing user list.
Create User's Home Folder
Each DSM user (except for guest) can have his/her own folder called the home folder, which is accessible only
by the user and the system administrator. Click User Home to enable user home service.
For users belonging to the administrators group, DSM users’ home folders are here: homes/[Username]
Note:
When the user home service is disabled, the homes folder will be kept but accessible by users belonging to the
administrators group only. Users can access their home folders again if the user home service is enabled again.
To delete the homes folder, the user home service must be disabled first.
Create Domain/LDAP User’s Home Folder
If you have joined your Synology NAS to a directory service as a Windows domain or LDAP client, you can go to
Main Menu > Control Panel > Directory Service > Domain users or LDAP user to create domain/LDAP users'
home folder. Click User Home and tick Enable home service for domain users or Enable home service for
LDAP users.
Like local users, all domain/LDAP users can access their own home folder via CIFS, AFP, FTP, WebDAV, or File
Station. Users belonging to the administrators group can access all personal folders located in the homes
default shared folder. For users belonging to the administrators group, domain/LDAP users’ home folders are in
the folder named @DH-domain name (for domain users) or @LH-FQDN name (for LDAP users). The name of
the user's home folder is the user account plus a unique number.
Note:
To delete the homes shared folder, user home service must be disabled first.
Enabling domain/LDAP user home service will also enable the local user home service if it's not enabled yet.
The domain user home service would be disabled if the local user home service is disabled.
