Reconfiguring the filer for CIFS

When to reconfigure a filer for CIFS

You can reconfigure the filer for CIFS service at any time, for example, if you want to change the authentication method from PDC (Primary Domain Controller) to UNIX password database.

How to reconfigure a filer for CIFS

To reconfigure a filer for CIFS, follow these steps:

1. Enter the cifs terminate command to stop CIFS service.
2. Enter the cifs setup command to reconfigure CIFS service.
   • If you enter only valid information, when you exit the program, the filer automatically restarts CIFS using the new configuration information.
   • If you enter some invalid information, for example, you mistype a domain name, when you exit the program, the filer restarts CIFS with the previous configuration.
