Using SSH to access your NAS unlocks powerful functionality. Enabling SSH key authentication improves security as well as convenience, eliminating the need for simple, easy-to-breach passwords or overly complex ones that are hard to remember. Unique keys for different administrator accounts, combined with private key storage on SSH clients, allow password logins to no longer be necessary, greatly enhancing SSH connection security.

OpenSSL Upgraded

ADM 5.0 upgrades OpenSSL and encryption standards across all connections. Whether using Samba for Windows or macOS, FTP, Rsync, or web connections, ADM now offers faster and more stable encrypted connections, strengthening the security of Asustor NAS devices.

SAMBA Upgraded

The all new SAMBA makes SMB multichannel no longer experimental. SMB Multichannel enables the combination of multiple network ports for improved network speeds and fault tolerance, boosting local file transfer performance.

New Kernel is Better Kernel

ADM 5.0 upgrades the Linux Kernel version to 6.6 LTS. Kernel 6.6 LTS introduces numerous security fixes and solutions for potential vulnerabilities. This kernel enhances system and Btrfs performance and stability, while expanding compatibility with new hardware, opening up more possibilities for future hardware integration.

Text File Editing
ADM 5.0 introduces support for editing plain text files. By downloading the new text editor app from App Central, it is possible to directly create or edit various text files on a company’s NAS and edit them without using a PC.

ADM 5.0 system requirements: AS52, AS53, AS54, AS63, AS64, Lockerstor/Gen2/Gen3, Lockerstor Pro, Flashstor Gen1/Gen2.
