![]() This guide has the required steps for both included now – so follow instructions carefully. However there are different steps required, depending if target NAS device is 32bit or 64bit. And this process is confirmed to work for both NAS devices.I have tested the setup with 2 different Synology NAS devices: However – on the upside in all this is, if you CAN do this for Synology device and you somewhat UNDERSTAND the steps done in this guide – you can do this a lot easier for normal Linux installation, or further enable this for any normal website running and hosted in your Linux machine. Utilize Debian chroot terminal ( yes – we need to introduce new packages to Synology):įor synology devices in general the challenges in all this comes from the fact that installation of new packages is a bit more complicated than to ordinary Linux installations.Install and enable application ‘Unix User Backend’ into your Owncloud instance.Our installation procedure will have roughly following steps: This way you don’t have to implement the system specific authentication tools to every application, but actually through PAM you can verify the user credentials by utilizing so called ‘authentication modules‘ during runtime. ![]() It provides a way to develop programs independent of system authentication scheme. PAM is a centralized authentication mechanism ( Pluggable Authentication Modules), in practice a flexible mechanism for authenticating users. Pwauth is the core component for this, and I will try to clarify the minimum basics for enabling this funtionality, but this guide is not by any means meant to be comprehensive guide to PAM and all the configuration settings possible in that domain. This makes managing user accounts easier, as by creating new user to NAS, the same account can be automatically used to login into Owncloud without adding the user separately to Owncloud. In this post I will go through the steps required to enable pwauth and user login with Synology NAS user accounts into Owncloud 9 installed into Synology NAS device running DSM 6 (release candidate).
