Name
security = value — [global]
Synopsis
Allowable values: share, user, server, domain
Default: user
Sets the client
authentication method. If
security
=
share, services are password-protected, available
to everyone who knows the password. If security
=
user, users have accounts and
passwords, and are required to authenticate with the server before
accessing services. If security
=
server, users have accounts
and passwords as with security = user, and a
separate system authenticates them for Samba. If
security
=
domain, Windows NT domain authentication is
implemented using a Windows NT/2000 or other Samba server to validate
accounts. See also the password server and
encrypted
passwords
configuration options.
