Fixes in HP CIFS Server A.01.11.01

HP CIFS Server A.01.11.01 provides the following ﬁxes:

multiple %U

expansion shares

(CR JAGaf14310)

This change ﬁxes a problem when customers using the ’runas’ facility or

terminal server/citrix metaframe lose access to shares deﬁned by %U

from certain users when new users make a connection to similar %U

shares from the same machine (using runas, or multiplexed over a single

connection via Terminal Server or Citrix Metaframe).

installation error

(CR JAGae74686)

This change prevents a swinstall failure when installing the CIFS

depot in an NIS environment, where the smbnull group can not be

added to the local account, /etc/group.

New Changes in HP CIFS Server A.01.11.01

HP CIFS Server A.01.11.01 provides the following enhancements:

• Enabling SSL support over LDAP with the HP CIFS Server

The HP CIFS Server provides the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

support to secure communication between CIFS servers and SSL

enabled LDAP directory servers.

You can now conﬁgure the ldap ssl parameter speciﬁed in the

smb.conf ﬁle to enable the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support.

With the SSL support, the HP CIFS Server allows you to access an

SSL enabled LDAP directory to protect passwords over the network

and to ensure conﬁdentiality and data integrity between CIFS

servers and SSL enabled LDAP directory servers.

For detailed information on how to set up and conﬁgure the Netscape

Directory Server, LDAP-UX Client Services and HP CIFS Server to

enable SSL communication over LDAP, refer to the “LDAP

Integration Support” chapter of HP CIFS Server 2.2i Administrator’s

Guide at http://www.docs.hp.com.

NOTE While the HP CIFS Server may operate satisfactorily with other

LDAP products, HP only provides the LDAP support for the HP

CIFS Server with HP LDAP-UX Integration, J4269AA, and HP

Netscape Directory Server, J4258CA, product conﬁgurations.
