Creation Information
Beginning with OES 2 SP3, the need for an AFP proxy
user has been eliminated.
The admin account that installs the server is
automatically assigned as the Archive and Versioning
proxy user. This is not configurable. Thefore, the new
Common Proxy User feature doesn't apply.

Common Proxy User: If a Common Proxy User
is specified, CIFS will be automatically configured
to use it by default, but you have the option to
change this.

No Common Proxy User: If a Common Proxy
User is not specified, the CIFS YaST install
automatically does the following:

Creates a proxy user named cifsProxyUser-
servername in the same context as the
server.

Generates a password, and stores it in either
CASA or in an encrypted file on the server,
depending on which option you select.
Alternatively, you can modify any of the defaults,
including the password. Or if you have already
created a proxy user, you can specify that as well.

Common Proxy User: If the Common Proxy User
is specified, it is granted membership in the
NCS_Management group, which enables it to
communicate with eDirectory on behalf of the
clustering service.

No Common Proxy User: If a Common Proxy
User is not specified, the system automatically
uses the installing administrator, which is granted
membership in the NCS_Management group,
which enables it to communicate with eDirectory
on behalf of the clustering service.

Common Proxy User: If a Common Proxy User is
specified, DHCP will be automatically configured to
use it by default, but you have the option to change
this.

No Common Proxy User: If a Common Proxy
User is not specified, the admin account that
installs the server is assigned as the DHCP proxy
user.
If you want to assign an alternate user account, it
must already exist in the tree and be able to
access the DHCP server object.
