The process of user authentication depends whether Samba/iX is running in
share level or user level. The "security" parameter in the configuration file
is used to specify the share level or user level authentication. If the
"security" parameter is set to share, Samba/iX will tell clients it is
granting access under share mode security. The process for granting access
under share level security is:
- If the service is marked "guest ok" or "public", then
the client is granted access with the rights of the username given in
the "guest account" parameter for the service.
- If a service is marked as "guest only" (not guest ok or public)
then access is granted with the rights of the username given in the
guest account parameter for the service.
- If a client passed a username/password pair to Samba/iX, and the
username and password are validated, the client is granted access with
the rights of the username.
- If the client registered a username with Samba/iX during a previous
connection and now supplies the correct password for that username,
access is granted.
- If the client validated a username/password pair with the Samba/iX
server during a previous connections, and now passes the correct
corresponding access token, access is granted. This step will be skipped
if the "revalidate" service parameter is true for this
service.
