Chapter 222

See Chapter 4, “NT Style Domains,” on page 75 for detailed.

• Provide the following information if you choose to use the Windows

Active Directory Server (ADS) realm:

— the name of your realm

— the name of your Domain Controller

— administrator user name and password

— LDAP-UX Integration product is installed

— Ensure that the most recent Kerberos client product is installed

For detailed information on how to join an HP CIFS Server to a

Windows 2000/2003 Domain using Kerberos security, see Chapter 5,

“Windows 2000/2003 Domains,” on page 101.

• Select the following authentication security type if you attempt to

use the workgroup environment:

— Server-level security: When this security type is speciﬁed,

password authentication is handled by another SMB password

server. When a client attempts to access a speciﬁc share, Samba

checks that the user is authorized to access the share. Samba

then validates the password via the SMB password server.

NOTE HP does not recommend you use the server-level security type,

this security type will be unavailable in the future.

— User-level security: When this security type is speciﬁed, each

share is assigned speciﬁc users. When a request is made for

access, Samba checks the user’s user name and password against

a local list of authorized users and only gives access if a match is

made.

— Share-level security: When this security type is speciﬁed, each

share (directory) has at least one password associated with it.

Anyone with a password will be able to access the share. There

are no other access restrictions.

• Run the Samba conﬁguration script using the command below.
