Fortunately (from a security standpoint) AD will NEVER EVER authenticate in Plain Text! The least secure method is NTLM1 authentication (=compatible with NT4/Win95/LanManager). Your NAS appears to attempt Kerberos, which is completely supported by AD. However if it doesn't work, it can be a bit difficult to debug.... from the log it appears you didn't supply correct credentials when you made the connection to AD. You should supply credentials in the username@domain.local format.
