Configuring Clients - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

ADS Level Security (security = ADS)
In this mode, Samba will act as a domain member in an Active Directory environ-
ment. To operate in this mode, the machine running Samba needs Kerberos installed
and configured. You must join the machine using Samba to the ADS realm. This
can be done using the YaST Windows Domain Membership module.
Domain Level Security (security = domain)
This mode will only work correctly if the machine has been joined into a Windows
NT Domain. Samba will try to validate username and password by passing it to a
Windows NT Primary or Backup Domain Controller. The same way as a Windows
NT Server would do. It expects the encrypted passwords parameter to be set to
yes.
The selection of share, user, server, or domain level security applies to the entire server.
It is not possible to offer individual shares of a server configuration with share level
security and others with user level security. However, you can run a separate Samba
server for each configured IP address on a system.
More information about this subject can be found in the Samba HOWTO Collection.
For multiple servers on one system, pay attention to the options interfaces and
bind interfaces only.

24.4 Configuring Clients

Clients can only access the Samba server via TCP/IP. NetBEUI and NetBIOS via IPX
cannot be used with Samba.
24.4.1 Configuring a Samba Client with YaST
Configure a Samba client to access resources (files or printers) on the Samba server.
Enter the domain or workgroup in the dialog Network Services > Windows Domain
Membership. If you activate Also Use SMB Information for Linux Authentication, the
user authentication runs over the Samba server. After completing all settings, click
Finish to finish the configuration.
