Completely open CIFS share in 8.3.2
Greetings,

I need to allow some MSDOS 6.2/Windows 3.1 systems to map a dedicated drive
share. Is there a way to set up a CIFS only share that will not require
authentication? I've set up permissions to give "everyone" full control,
but it still asks for a username or password when they try to connect.

I have been able to do this with a share on a W7 system, but I'd rather it
go to a more robust destination.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff

Since Windows XP/2003, Everyone has meant all _authenticated_ users and the
guest account (along w some service accounts).

Is it possible to run a dedicated SVM for your scenario? I'm thinking
perhaps a CIFS SVM running in Workgroup mode, not AD joined, would change
the meaning of 'Everyone' to include anonymous sessions.

However, a quick Google suggests you'll need CDOT 9 to use Workgroup mode.

This is an interesting problem. I wish I had the install media to try this
in the lab!

Stephen,

I found the authenticated users doesn't work since these systems don't
authenticate. I set up a PC (W7) with a share and had to change it to
"everyone" to let them in. Authenticated users didn't work.

I don't think a dedicated SVM would be the first choice. I'm going to look
at setting up a Server 2012 VM (our cluster has DC so no license issues).
I'll just give it some space, let them transfer, and do a sweep every 5
minutes, then delete it. Since the data will end up on the NetApps I was
hoping to just skip to the end :-)

Alexander, thanks for the links. I'll look around on the dos page and see
what I can find.

Jeff
