Description Marcel Hergaarden 2014-04-30 11:14:51 UTC
Description of problem:
Samba shares on RHS cannot be configured graphically in regards to user/group rights. This can only be done from the commandline which leads to issues with Windows administrators who aren't familiar with Linux CLI.
Rights can also not be set from within Microsoft MMC management tools.
This seems only possible from of Samba version 4.x

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHS2.1 / RHS3.0

How reproducible:
Samba shares are automatically created by the hooks scripts whilst creating a RHS volume. Settings in regards to rights need to be set by setting volume options.
Different user/group rights in subdirs of a share need to be altered with on the command line. For cases with 18000+ users/groups this is recognized as an issue at a customer. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a RHS volume and configure CIFS/SMB access ability
2.Set rights on a volume level for access in the share
3.Create subdir inside the share and set other SMB rights on that subdir by using the RHS-C Gui or windows MMC.

Actual results:
This isn't possible

Expected results:
Granular Active Directory rights control administration inside RHS-C Gui or inside MS MMC tooling.

Additional info:
Currently everything in regards to setting these rights needs to be done on the command line interface on RHS while there is no affinity or experience on that by Windows oriented administrators who like to use RHS as a Windows fileserver share. Command line management only is a showstopper for non-cli admins.
