HP CIFS Server Administrator Guide Version A.02.04.04 (5070-6710, October 2011)

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.02.02
• 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
Configure DOS Attribute Mapping
map system, map hidden and map archive Attributes
There are three parameters, map system, map hidden, and map archive, that can be configured
in Samba to map DOS file attributes to owner, group, and other execute bits in the UNIX file
system.
When using the CIFS Client, you may want to have all three of these parameters turned off. If the
map archive parameter is on, any time a user writes to a file, the owner execute permission will
be set. This is usually not desired behavior for HP CIFS clients or UNIX clients in general.
By default, map system and map hidden are off, and map archive is on.
