HP CIFS Client A.02.02.03 Administrator's Guide

scopeID This string variable defines the NetBIOS name scope of the
client. If it is not defined, no scope ID is used. If you do not
know what a scope ID is, you do not need one.
rmTmpKerbCredFiles When kerberos authentication is used, the CIFS Client uses
a temporary file to store users credentials during login
processing. There is one temporary credentials file per user
per server. Kerberos tickets are not reused by the CIFS
Client, thus when the user's login processing is completed,
the temporary file is removed. If required for troubleshooting,
these files can be preserved by setting this variable to no.
The files are located in /var/opt/cifsclient/krb5_tmp. The
default is yes.
oldUdbEncrypt The encryption method used for the user database file (UDB)
is enhanced in CIFS Client version A.02.02 such that the
file can be reused after back-ups and restores. This feature
is enabled by default. However, due to this enhancement,
UDBs from version A.02.01 are not compatible with later
CIFS Client binaries. In order for CIFS Client A.02.02 or
later to use an older UDB, this parameter must be set to
yes:
oldUdbEncrypt = yes;
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
