About configuring CIFS for standalone mode
If you do not have an AD server, you can use Access Appliance as a standalone server. Access Appliance is used in standalone mode when testing Access Appliance functionality and when it is not a member of a domain.
Before you configure the CIFS service for the standalone mode, do the following:
Make sure that the CIFS server is not running.
Set security to user.
Start the CIFS server.
To make sure that the configuration has changed, do the following:
Check the server status.
Display the server settings.
