5. Under Global CIFS Settings, specify the values for SMB (Server Message Block) Signing and Guest Account. This setting
overrides the setting under Add CIFS User.
Select one of the following values for SMB Signing:
Disabled - The CIFS server does not offer SMB signing. This is the default value.
Auto - Enables SMB signing automatically. The CIFS server offers SMB signing, but does not enforce it. You can
choose to enable or disable it.
Mandatory - The CIFS server enforces SMB signing. You must use SMB signing if you select this option.
Select one of the following values for Guest Account:
Enabled - Activates the guest account. A user may authenticate as a guest user and access a CIFS share (which allows
guest users) using any user name and password. If you want to enable any user to access the share, you can use this
feature.
Disabled - De-activates the guest account.
Note: Windows provides the ability to sign CIFS messages to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks when sharing files. Each CIFS
message has a unique signature, which prevents the message from being tampered with.
Note: Enabling SMB signing degrades Whitewater performance.
