Allowable values : share, user , server, domain

Default : user

Sets the client authentication method. If security = share , services are password-protected, available to everyone who knows the password. If security = user , users have accounts and passwords, and are required to authenticate with the server before accessing services. If security = server , users have accounts and passwords as with security = user , and a separate system authenticates them for Samba. If security = domain , Windows NT domain authentication is implemented using a Windows NT/2000 or other Samba server to validate accounts.
