Installing And Configuring A Cifs Server Through Yast - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP2 - ADMINISTRATION Manual

The attributes for which the cifs proxy user requires rights are, nfapCIFSServername,
nfapCIFSComment, nfapCIFSShares, and nfapCIFSAttach. These attributes must have read, write,
and compare rights. If the rights are defined on the branch(preferable), then the inherit rights also
have to be provided.
In this example, if Virtual server 2 is to be hosted on node server c, then cifs proxy user c must be
provided access to read the attributes of Virtual server 2. The rights for the above mentioned
attributes can be provided at ou=blr for cifs proxy user c. Hence the same rights holds good for
hosting Virtual server 1 too.
