- <title>REGISTRY-BASED CONFIGURATION</title>
-
- <para>
- Starting with Samba version 3.2.0, the capability to
- store Samba configuration in the registry is available.
- There are two levels of registry configuration:
- </para>
-
- <orderedlist continuation="restarts" inheritnum="ignore" numeration="arabic">
- <listitem><para>Share definitions stored in registry are used.
- This is triggered by setting the global
- parameter <parameter>registry shares</parameter> to <quote>yes</quote>
- in <emphasis>smb.conf</emphasis>.
- </para>
-
- <para>Note: Shares defined in <emphasis>smb.conf</emphasis>
- always take priority over
- shares of the same name defined in registry.
- </para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Global <emphasis>smb.conf</emphasis> options stored in
- registry are used. This is triggered by the
- parameter <smbconfoption name="config backend">registry</smbconfoption> in
- the [global] section of <emphasis>smb.conf</emphasis>.
- This removes everything that has been read from config files
- to this point and reads the content of the global configuration
- section from the registry.
- Activation of global registry options automatically
- activates registry shares. In this case, no share definitions
- from smb.conf are read: This is a registry only configuration
- with the advantage that share definitions are not read
- in a bulk at startup time but on demand when a share is
- accessed.
- </para></listitem>
- </orderedlist>
-
- <para>
- Caveat: To make registry-based configurations foolproof at least to a
- certain extent, the use
- of <parameter>lock directory</parameter>,
- <parameter>config backend</parameter>, and
- <parameter>include</parameter> inside the registry
- configuration has been disabled. Especially, by changing the
- <parameter>lock directory</parameter> inside the registry
- configuration, one would create a broken setup where the daemons
- do not see the configuration they loaded once it is active.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The registry configuration can be accessed with
- tools like <emphasis>regedit</emphasis> or <emphasis>net rpc
- registry</emphasis> in the key
- <emphasis><literal>HKLM\Software\Samba\smbconf</literal></emphasis>.
-
- More conveniently, the <emphasis>conf</emphasis> subcommand of the
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>net</refentrytitle>
- <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> utility
- offers a dedicated interface to read and write the
- registry based configuration locally, i.e. directly
- accessing the database file, circumventing the
- server.
