It provides a NTVFS +backend that talks to a remote CIFS server. The primary aim of this +backend is for debugging and development, although some poeple may +find it useful as a CIFS gateway. + +There are two modes of operation: Password specified and delegated +credentials. + +Password specified: +------------------- + +This uses a static username/password in the config file, example: + +[myshare] + ntvfs handler = cifs + cifs:server = myserver + cifs:user = tridge + cifs:password = mypass + cifs:domain = TESTDOM + cifs:share = test + + +Delegated credentials: +---------------------- + +If your incoming user is authenticated with Kerberos, and the machine +account for this Samba4 proxy server is 'trusted for delegation', then +the Samba4 proxy can forward the client's credentials to the target. + +You must be joined to the domain (net join <domain> member). + +To set 'trusted for delegation' with MMC, see the checkbox in the +Computer account property page under Users and Computers. + +[myshare] + ntvfs handler = cifs + cifs:server = myserver + cifs:share = test + + |
