Managing CIFS Shares
Common Internet File System (CIFS) shares provide an effective way of sharing files across a Windows
network with authorized clients. The FluidFS cluster supports the SMB protocol versions 1.0, 2.0, and 2.1.
When you first create a CIFS share, access is limited as follows:
• The Administrator account has full access.
• If you are using Active Directory, the AD domain administrator has full access.
To assign other users full access to a CIFS share, you must log in to the CIFS share, using one of the
above mentioned administrator accounts, and set access permissions and ownership of the CIFS share.
Configuring CIFS Shares
View, add, modify, and delete CIFS shares.
