TEST 10:
Some other tests, along with the ones mentioned previously, might be useful. These tests can be done to check
the behavior of the Samba for MPE/iX server with these security policies:
1. Configure Samba for MPE/iX in User security mode:
• Map a PC username to a valid MPE/iX username.account with passwords
• Verify file and print access work
• Verify files created by PC user are owned by correct MPE/iX username and account
• Verify full file read and create access to the user’s default home share.
2. Configure Samba for MPE/iX in Share security mode and set passwords on file shares.
• Verify that the file and print access from PC users works.
3. Configure Samba for MPE/iX in Server security mode, pointing user validation to a NT server.
• Verify that the users logged into the Windows NT domain being used as a validation server have the
appropriate access to shares and printing on Samba for MPE/iX.
4. Perform PC connectivity and file/print access tests with SMBD and NMBD in daemon mode (for example,
started from MPE/iX jobs JSMB and JNMB) as well as started from INETD as services.
5. Verify that all functionality works when the daemons or services are running as the default mgr.samba. If
any functionality does not work, check to see if any changes are needed in the default capabilities of
mgr.samba.
