Situation

Trying to add CIFS Shares.

In iManager under "File Protocols", "CIFS / AFP" select a server.
After clicking on the "New" button under the "Cifs Shares" heading the following error is displayed:

Error: The CIFS configuration information is not stored in eDirectory

This error keeps you from being able to add shares.

Resolution

- Create a file called cifs.cfg in the sys:\etc directory. The file will need to have a space in it in order to be saved.
- At the server console do a "cifsstop" and then a "cifsstrt" to unload and reload cifs so that it can check for this file again.
- Go back to iManager and test
