The procedure used to configure an audit client depends on the authentication method: Windows Workgroup or Windows Active Directory (AD). When added, the audit share is automatically enabled as a read-only share.
Note: Audit export through CIFS/Samba has been deprecated and will be removed in a future StorageGRID release.

Configuring audit clients for Workgroup
Perform this procedure for each Admin Node in a StorageGRID deployment from which you want to retrieve audit messages.
Verifying CIFS audit integration
The audit share is read-only. Log files are intended to be read by computer applications and verification does not include opening a file. It is considered sufficient verification that the audit log files appear in a Windows Explorer window. Following connection verification, close all windows.
