CIFS Security and Authentication
User Login Procedures
Chapter 346
perform a manual login in order to store the encrypted
passsword. You can use the cifslogin -s or cifsdb command
to save an entry in the user database or use the cifsdb -d
command to delete an entry from the user database. Please see
man pages cifslogin, cifsdb in Chapter 5, “Commandline
Utilities,” on page 69 for details.
NOTE Automatic login using user database is not supported with
Kerberos
4. Guest User
This feature enables all users on the HP CIFS Client host who
are not logged into a mounted CIFS server to access the server’s
mountpoints, with the privileges of a guest user. Please also see
the detailed information on the guestRemoteUser parameter in
Chapter 7.
To set up guest user capabilities, set the configuration
parameters guestRemoteUser and guestPassword to those of a
valid account on the server. HP recommends setting up a generic
guest user account on the server, so that access rights of guest
users can be limited. Now, when any UNIX users on the CIFS
Client HP-UX host who have not logged into the CIFS server try
to access its mounted share, they will automatically access them
as the guest user without doing an explicit cifslogin.
