rather than mandatory record locking, a read lock simply advises other applications that
they should not write to the locked byte-range, even though they are technically able to do
so.

5.4 Third Party Authentication

Use the steps below for a third party authentication:
Create the same user in eDirectory and third party machines with same password.
In eDirectory, assign a CIFS Password Policy to the user.
Assign a Universal Password for the same user.
NOTE: The windows client may be required to log in as the same user with same password to
access the CIFS shares when using third party authentication.

5.5 DFS Junction Support in CIFS Linux

CIFS must be configured to support DFS junctions. By default, DFS junction support is disabled.
You must enable it on host (server that hosts the junction) and target (server that is pointed by the
junction) servers in order for the junctions to work. The junctions that point to subdirectories are
also supported with CIFS Linux.

5.5.1 Prerequisites

Unicode™ must be enabled.
DFS must be enabled for CIFS on all the host and target servers.
Both host and target CIFS servers must be running.
The VLDB server must be running.
IMPORTANT: The CIFS clients accessing DFS junctions must be DFS aware. smbclient on Linux
may not work appropriately in case of junctions as it is not DFS aware.

5.5.2 Enabling DFS Support

Use the instructions in this section to enable DFS junction support in CIFS Linux:
1 In iManager, click File Protocols > CIFS.
2 Browse to locate and select the server you want to manage.
