Samba for MPE/iX Conﬁguration File Options

Conﬁguring the Shares for File Sharing

The PCs can access the server side ﬁlespaces using Samba for MPE/iX.

Whenever the clients want to connect to the server, the server side

validates the username and password, which are sent by the client, and

grants access to the requests share if it is appropriate.

You can conﬁgure the ﬁle service with guest access and the Samba for

MPE/iX server can grant to the guest users without a validated user ID

and password.

Share level security is the default security level in Samba for MPE/iX.

The following example shows the conﬁguration steps you can use to

conﬁgure with

[global] and [service] section with security = share:

1. Add in the

[global] section the following parameter: security =

2. To add a share, the entries can be given in the example below:

[sample shares]

comment = shared space

guest ok = no

write ok = yes

path = /sample/test

3. Add a username mapping in “user.map” ﬁle. For example:

mgr.sample = pcusername

4. When you connect a share from a PC, the password format that you

enter from a PC should be userpassword, acctpassword.

NOTE

For accessing share/user security modes, both SAMBA account and

MGR.SAMBA user should have PM capabilities.
