Bug ID: 11048
Summary: Public access, no auth
Classification: Contribs
Product: SME Contribs
Version: 9.3
Hardware: ---
OS: ---
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: smeserver-shared-folders
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
Not bug, feature request.
I have an environment in which there are no SME accounts other than a couple of
script writers. SME serves the environment primarily as firewall, web app host,
and file share.
For SharedFolders to work in this site, the shares need a public access, no
authentication mode.
As to how to implement, what I envision is this.
The public access mode would be set via the main setup page. That is, perhaps
add a dropdown (below SMB Access) of:
SMB Auth
SME Groups & Users
Public Read-Only
Public Read/Write
The Permissions panel would then need to reflect the impact of the auth
options.
SME Groups & Users would utilize the current solution.
Public Read-Only eliminates the need for the Permissions panel's Read-Only
column as everyone can read. It should probably retain the Read/Write column in
order to grant specific groups/users write capability. I can see this being
useful (not in my case, but generally) to have SME users who can maintain
Public Read-Only shares.
Public Read/Write completely eliminates the need for the Permissions panel.
(Except, maybe, for some odd case where you might want to implement an Allow
All, Deny Some kind of ACL where you would REMOVE the write access for selected
users.) Realistically, I think the Permissions panel would simply state that
the share is Public R/W and no fine-grained permissions are available.
