Samba help needed please....
I want to create a share for a select group of users so that only they can access the share. I would also like for them to be presented with the pop-up login box asking them to authenticate to the share. I have Samba 3.0.10 running on a Solaris 9 server and the clients will be authenticating to the share via Windows XP. Below is what I have in my smb.conf file:
# Global parameters
[global]
server string = Samba Server
security = SHARE
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
max log size = 50
os level = 0
lm announce = No
preferred master = No
local master = No
domain master = No
dns proxy = No
[Managers]
comment = Managers
path = /some/share
valid users = jdoe,juser,ssmith
force group = mgrs
read only = No
Currently, if I add a new samba user using smbpasswd, the user is allowed to go directly into the share without any visible authentication. How can I get the pop-up window to request the user to login with their account and password ?
The pop-up window I am referring to is the one that appears when an unauthenticated person attempts to access the share and the pop-up window has grayed out the servername\guest and is asking for a password.
Secondly, not all of the users are in the same NT domain, I would like to link to this share from a web page my team administers that is accessible across the company....are there any issues regarding trying to do something like this that I need to be aware of or plan for in my smb.conf file ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
