Deployment Scenario 2: Mutually /Exclusive Users; Deployment Scenario 3: Simple Deployments; Modifying User Password Policies After Afp/Cifs/Samba/Dsfw Is Installed - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP2 - PLANING AND IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 11-10-2009 Implementation Manual

K.4.2 Deployment Scenario 2: Mutually /Exclusive Users
In some trees, AFP, CIFS, and Samba might be employed, but the users are partitioned in such a way
that each user has access to AFP, to CIFS or to Samba, but not to all of them.
S1, S2, S3, S4
DSfW servers with Samba. All the users are under dc=blr,dc=widgets,dc=com.
You can use the default Password policy provided by Domain Services for Windows for all the
users in this subtree.
You can create and use a single proxy user/password under dc=blr,dc=widgets,dc=com for all
the servers providing Samba.
S5, S6, S7
Servers with AFP, All the users are under ou=prv,o=widgets.
You can use the default password policy provided by AFP for all the users in this subtree.
You can create and use a single proxy user/password under ou=prv,o=widgets for all the
services providing AFP.
S8, S9
Servers with CIFS. All the users are under ou=wal,o=widgets.
You can use the default password policy provided by CIFS for all the users in this subtree.
You can create and use a single proxy user/password under ou=prv,o=widgets for all the
services providing CIFS.
K.4.3 Deployment Scenario 3: Simple deployments
Simple deployments require very little planning.
Auto-generated proxy users by each service might be a good idea. This does not require that
you plan the proxy user context.
Use the default password policies if one of the following cases is true:
Case A: All users can access all file services. Use one of the default policies and assign it
to all the users, and select the same policy for all the services.
Case B: Only one type of file service is deployed throughout the tree. If only AFP or CIFS
or Samba is deployed, set the password policies for all the users to the default Password
policy created by the particular service, and choose that default policy as part of the YaST
configuration for the service.
K.4.4 Modifying User Password Policies after AFP/CIFS/
Samba/DSfW Is Installed
After a new password policy is assigned to an AFP/CIFS/Samba or DSfW user, rerun the YaST–
based configuration and select the new Password policies.
