Samba Security Modes

58.

There are two security levels available to the Common Internet Filesystem (CIFS) network protocol <emphasis>user-level</emphasis> and <emphasis>share-level</emphasis>. Samba's <emphasis>security mode</emphasis> implementation allows more flexibility, providing four ways of implementing user-level security and one way to implement share-level:

59.

<emphasis>security = user:</emphasis> requires clients to supply a username and password to connect to shares. Samba user accounts are separate from system accounts, but the <application>libpam-smbpass</application> package will sync system users and passwords with the Samba user database.

60.

<emphasis>security = domain:</emphasis> this mode allows the Samba server to appear to Windows clients as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC), Backup Domain Controller (BDC), or a Domain Member Server (DMS). See <xref linkend="samba-dc"/> for further information.

61.

<emphasis>security = ADS:</emphasis> allows the Samba server to join an Active Directory domain as a native member. See <xref linkend="samba-ad-integration"/> for details.

62.

<emphasis>security = server:</emphasis> this mode is left over from before Samba could become a member server, and, due to some security issues, should not be used. See the <ulink url="http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ServerType. html#id349531">Server Security</ulink> section of the Samba guide for more details.

63.

<emphasis>security = share:</emphasis> allows clients to connect to shares without supplying a username and password.

64.

The preferred security mode depends on the environment and what the Samba server needs to accomplish.

65.

Security = User

This section will reconfigure the Samba file and print server, from <xref linkend="samba-fileserver"/> and the <ulink type="help" url="help:/kubuntu/printing/"> Print Server</ulink>, to require authentication.
