is used for logins to the server. If the value is set to
ntlmv2,then NTLMv2 is used. The default setting is
ntlm.
smbPacketSigning
This string variable specifies which option is used by
the HP CIFS Client to perform packet signing. The
valid entries for this parameter are enbled, required
and disabled. By default, this parameter is set to
enabled.
preventCreationEnable, preventCreationPattern
These parameters can be used to prevent creation of
files on CIFS servers that match a given pattern.
preventCreationEnable is a boolean variable; its
default value is no. Setting it to yes prevents creation
of files on the CIFS server with names that match the
pattern specified in preventCreationPattern. If
preventCreationEnable is set to no,
preventCreationPattern is ignored.
preventCreationPattern is a string variable. The
default value is null(""). File names that match the
text pattern defined in preventCreationPattern
cannot be created when preventCreationEnable is
set to yes. The pattern can include the wildcard
characters "*" (match any sequence of characters) and
"?" (match any single character), thus an expression
like "*file" matches file names such as my_file, xxfile
etc.
For example, to prevent users from placing DOS
executables on the server, configure these parameters
as follows:
preventCreationEnable = yes;
preventCreationPattern = "*.exe";
smbOverTCP This is a boolean variable that controls whether to use
SMB over TCP, which causes the CIFS Client to bypass
the NetBIOS Session Services for server connections.
The default is no.
