Workgroupname when OpenLdap as account provider

My NS7 installation with OpenLDAP didn’t appear in the windows network neighborhood. So I changed the template entry in 00workgroup from “Workgroup” to my needs and the NS7 appeared after a reboot.
Is there possibility to put a workgroupname in GUI if OpenLDAP is selected?
If not, I think it should be.

You should run the following commands:

config setprop smb Workgroup NEWWGNAME
signal-event nethserver-samba-update

Thanks a lot @davidep, you always have a hint for me! :smile:
I can confirm that this works. smb.conf is correctly reconfigured.
Machine is shown in windowsnetwork-neighborhood.

But I still think that this should be possible by GUI in NS7, not by doiing CLI commands.
Would this be a great effort?

You have some settings more to expose also :

[root@NS7DEV ~]# config show smb 
smb=service
    DeadTime=10080
    NetbiosAliasList=
    OsLevel=35
    ServerRole=WS
    Sid=
    TCPPorts=139,445
    UseClientDriver=yes
    UseCups=enabled
    WinsServerIP=
    Workgroup=
    access=green
    status=enabled

maybe a tab in the shared folder panel could be used to change these settings or a separated panel.

Let’s discuss it on
