cifs.server.”.default”
The baroque structure of CIFS has its mirror in the
multitude of configuration options for CIFS
connections. This variable defines a default behavior
which can be overridden by specific configurations for
each server. The value is a dictionary with the
following parameters:
localNetbiosName
This entry can be used to set the Netbios name for the
client that is sent to the server.
ipAddress This entry can be used to set the IP address of the
CIFS server that you attempts to connect.
connectTimeout This integer variable defines the maximum time in
milliseconds that is waited for a connection to succeed.
You probably have to increase the time if you are on a
slow network. The default is 2000ms (2 seconds).
requestTimeout This integer variable defines the maximum time in
milliseconds a server response may take (if the
connection is already established). The default is
60000ms (60 seconds).
authenticationMethod
This entry specifies the method that the HP CIFS
Client uses to authenticate users to the CIFS server.
Allowed values are ntlm or kerberos.The default
setting is ntlm. If the value is set to ntlm, only the
NTLM protocol is used for logins to the server. If the
value is set to kerberos, then if the server supports
Kerberos, only Kerberos is used for logins. Otherwise,
NTLM will be used. If NTLM is used, the CIFS Client
determines which NTLM version to use based on the
ntlmEncryptionVersion configuration.
ntlmEncryptionVersion
This entry specifies the method that the HP CIFS
Client should use to authenticate users to the CIFS
server. Allowed values are ntlm or ntlmv2. If the
value is set to ntlm, the NTLM encryption password
