Windows CIFS problem

[tbrezniak]

So I am new to Freenas and am using version 9.2.1.8. Id am trying to setup a windows CIFS share. According to every how to and guide I can find, when I go to setup the CifS services under, Services->Control Services->CIFS (wrench icon) I should change the Authentication Model = Local User. However when I click on the CIFS wrench icon I do not see any option for authentication model, does anyone know how to get around this or if this is needed anymore?

Those how-tos are out of date. Don't worry about it.

Don't forget the http://doc.freenas.org/errata/9.2.1.8_errata.html:

The “Authentication Model” field has been removed as Anonymous is not a valid setting for Samba4. Instead, Local User is used unless the system is joined to an Active Directory domain.

Are there any up to date how tos that you know of?

 

[anodos]

Just follow the documentation in the FreeNAS User Guide here: http://doc.freenas.org/ If you have specific configuration-related questions, ask them on the forums.

I did follow the guide that you posted, but the guide itself includes the authentication model. Is this just a typo in the guide?

No, the 9.2.1.x series has changed somewhat since the guide was published, as indicated in the Errrata linked above...
