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.
