|||
In some scenarios, expecially on standalone servers, it might be a requirement, to provide a share, that is accessable without authentication (anonymous access). |
|||
Two smb.conf directives are required in the [global] section, to allow anonymous access on shares in the later step: |
|||
[global] |
|||
workgroup = MYWORKGROUP ## Keep this two lines on their current value, if |
|||
security = user ## you're doing this on a host that is part of a domain |
|||
map to guest = Bad user |
|||
guest account = nobody |
|||
For the share, that should be accessable without login, use the following configuration: |
|||
---- |
|||
[MyShare] |
|||
[[Category:Active Directory]] |
|||
comment = Anonymous Samba Share |
|||
[[Category:Domain Members]] |
|||
path = /srv/samba/anonymous_share/ |
|||
[[Category:File Serving]] |
|||
guest ok = yes |
|||
[[Category:NT4 Domains]] |
|||
read only = yes|no |
|||
# Optionally you can map the anonymous user to a local user/group, if necessary. |
|||
force user = myuser |
|||
force group = mygroup |
