How to change the Samba Password
Description

Need to change the Samba password.
Resolution

1. KACE Systems Deployment Appliance only.

a. On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click General Settings to display the General Settings page.

b. Under Server Options, in SDA Samba Share Password, enter a new password.

2. Remote Site Appliance only.

a. On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click Remote Site Settings to display the Remote Site Settings page.

b. Under Samba Options, in SDA Samba Share Password, enter a new password.

3. If your Samba shares are located on a Windows system that uses NTLM (NT LAN Manager) v.1, the NTLM v.1 configuration must be enabled in order to access these directories. To do that, select Enable NTLMv1 in Samba configuration.

4. Click Save.

The account password for the Samba share is changed. Your Windows KACE Boot Environments (KBE) are updated automatically to include the new password (this applies to the SDA version 7.0 and greater). This process may take a few minutes for each KBE. Review the status of the SDA in the top right corner and wait until the SDA goes to Idle status.

Do not change the Samba password or the NTLM v1 settings during deployment !!!

Important: In SDA version 6.1 and below, if it becomes necessary to change the Samba password, it will also be necessary to build new KBE's.

NOTE: The default account name is admin and the default password is also admin.
