NOTE: If you attempt to enable guestmode for all CIFS shares when the DR Series system is already joined to an
ADS domain (using the DR Series system CLI authenticate --guestmode --enable command), the following error
message displays:

This node is already joined to domain . Please leave the domain before enabling

the guest-only mode

.

authenticate --server_signing --mode

Description

Configures the server signing for Common Internet File System (CIFS) on a DR Series system. This is a security provision
based on Server Message Block (SMB) signing, a form of packet authentication. After CIFS-based users are
authenticated, SMB signing adds a digital signature to each packet that is transferred between client and server. These
digital signatures verify that the identity of the server matches the credentials expected by the client, and vice versa. By
verifying that every packet that is received comes from an authenticated source, these digital signatures ensure the
integrity of the communications. The DR Series system CLI --server_signing --mode command contains four values:

auto — Configures authentication via server signing to be automatically performed.

mandatory — Configures authentication via server signing as mandatory, or the connection will be dropped.

disabled — Disables authentication via server signing so that no connections are accepted.

show — Displays the current server signing settings.

Syntax

authenticate --server_signing --mode auto

Result

Successfully added server signing to auto.
