Configuring the SMB Server – Process Overview
This section describes the high-level process for configuring the SMB server. You might use the following services in your environment:
-

-
Kerberos – For information about the Kerberos service, see Managing Kerberos in Oracle Solaris 11.4.
-
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) – For information about the LDAP service, see Chapter 5, Setting Up LDAP Clients in Working With Oracle Solaris 11.4 Directory and Naming Services: LDAP.

The procedures required to configure a SMB server are as follows:

-
To join a workgroup, see How to Configure the SMB Server in Workgroup Mode.
-
-
Determine your identity mapping strategy.
-
Create one or more SMB shares.
