◦ 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 “Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 domains” (page 68).
• 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.
/opt/samba/bin/samba_setup
The script will modify the smb.conf file according to the information that you have entered.
Step 3: Modify the configuration
Configuration modification
HP CIFS Server requires configuration modifications for the following functionality:
• Case Sensitivity for the Client and Server for UNIX Extensions
• DOS Attribute Mapping
• Print Services for version A.03.01.02
• Distributed File System (DFS) Support
• Configure MC/ServiceGuard High Availability (HA)
Configure case sensitivity
By default, the HP CIFS Server is configured to be case insensitive, like Windows.
NOTE: HP recommends that when using CIFS Extensions for UNIX, both the CIFS Client and
Server be configured to be case sensitive.
For the CIFS Server, edit the server configuration file: /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf as follows.
case sensitive = yes
For the CIFS Client configuration, in the /etc/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.cfg file, ensure the following
default is set:
caseSensitive = yes
Step 3: Modify the configuration 21
