Step 3: Configuring the HP CIFS Client
The configuration file for the HP CIFS Client,
/etc/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.cfg , can be used as delivered, with
no modification of its default values.
Editing cifsclient.cfg
If appropriate, edit the HP CIFS client configuration file
/etc/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.cfg as described below.
1. Update the domain variable with the name of the NT domain to
which the client will belong. This step is recommended, but not
required.
domain = hpnet_dom
2. Configure Internationalized Clients.
The CIFS Client is designed to work with a variety of
internationalized clients and servers. It can use Unicode to transmit
multi-byte characters on the network, or any of several character
encoding tables located in /etc/opt/cifsclient/unitables. See the
README file in that directory for an index of the tables.
Each table is a CharMap file which can be configured for encoding
file and directory names on the client or server (file contents are left
untouched). The character set displayed on the CIFS Client console
is configured with the parameter clientCharMapFile, which selects
any one of the many character mapping files provided with the
product. Character translations for communications with CIFS
Servers can be done either in Unicode or through the configuration
parameter serverCharMapFile, which also is used to select a
character mapping file. Use of Unicode is turned on and off with the
useUnicode parameter.
The default settings in cifsclient.cfg are:
serverCharMapFile = "/etc/opt/cifsclient/unitables/unimapCP437.cfg";
clientCharMapFile = "/etc/opt/cifsclient/unitables/unimap8859-1.cfg";
If, for example, your CIFS Client is configured as a Japanese system
using the Shift-JIS locale, and it is connected to a Japanese CIFS
Server that also uses Shift-JIS, you would configure the following:
