• Defining Server Message Block (SMB)/Common Internet File System
(CIFS) security
• Defining NIS security
SMB/CIFS
To display the SMB/CIFS windows, choose System | System Services |
SMB/CIFS .
SMB is a message format used by DOS and Windows to share files, directories,
and devices. Many network products use SMB, including LAN Manager,
Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT, and LAN Server. A number of
products use SMB to enable file sharing among different operating system
platforms. Samba, for example, enables UNIX and Windows machines to share
directories and files. SMB runs over most common network protocols.
To configure SMB/CIFS security:
1. Enter the Workgroup/Domain name on the window. This is the workgroup
or domain used to access the NewsShare NAS server nodes in the Windows
network neighborhood. This field is required. Use a maximum of 64
alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), dash (-), and period. The first
character must be alpha.
NOTE: For information on using IP addresses in a network, refer to
“Basics of IP Addresses” on page 42.
2. Enter the IP address of the WINS server , if you use one. WINS is a
Windows-specific method of name resolution. The WINS server translates a
NetBIOS name into an IP address.
3. Choose one of the following for Security :
- User level : Local authentication for valid users and groups. See “User
Level Security” on page 78.
- Domain level : Windows NT domain server determines valid users and
groups. See “Domain Level Security” on page 75.
