Permissions for Creating a Windows share via Samba 4 on Debian server

[Thilroy]

Hi everybody,

Yes, I know, AGAIN a question about the tricky subject of permissions.
What I am looking for are guidelines to setup permissions in the following scenario :

I'm going to use freeNAS as main file server on our network, which basically consists of 100+ Windows workstations (from XP to 8.1).
The active directory DC is in fact a Debian Wheezy running Samba 4.2.
To centralize the users rights administration, I am going to do the following :

1) Setup a few NFS shares on freeNAS
2) Mount those network shares on my Debian server
3) Define those shares in Samba to create the Windows shares.

Which means that there are THREE places where I have to setup permissions : on freeNAS, on linux and finally, on Samba !

Could you advise me on the best practice to follow to define, let's say, a public share, users shares ?
I assume I must leave the share totally open on freeNAS, while restricting it to the Debian IP, but then... it becomes to complicated for me.

Thanks in advance,

T.

Wha? What are you trying to accomplish?

FreeNAS is perfectly capable of handling user authentication as an AD member.

Your question is confusing why did are you doing something strange with NFS and cifs at the same time. Also what do you mean by samba?

You can share "Samba" shares with FreeNAS directly. Look under shares and then CIFS.
