authenticate --server_signing [--auto] [--mandatory] [--disabled] [--show]

Description
Configures the server signing for Common Internet File System (CIFS) on a DR Series system. This is a security provision
based on Server Message Block (SMB) signing, a form of packet authentication. Once CIFS-based users are
authenticated, SMB signing adds a digital signature to each packet that is transferred between client and server. These
digital signatures verify that the identity of the server matches the credentials expected by the client, and vice versa. By
verifying that every packet that is received comes from an authenticated source, these digital signatures ensure the
integrity of the communications. The DR Series system CLI --server_signing command contains four options:
• --auto, configures authentication via server signing to be automatically performed.
• --mandatory, configures authentication via server signing as mandatory or the connection will be dropped.
• --disabled, disables authentication via server signing so that no connections are accepted.
• --show, displays the current server signing settings.
