16.7 OES CIFS Implementation and Maintenance

To use the CIFS file services on your OES server, you must install the service by using the instructions in the Installation Guide (for a new installation) or install it after the initial OES installation, as explained in Installing CIFS after the OES Installation in the OES CIFS for Linux Administration Guide.

Active Directory users can also be granted access through the NSS AD integration service starting in OES 2015.
