Why each option
The Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) completely replaces the `smb.conf` file, generates it without comments, and omits parameters set to their default values for conciseness.
SWAT directly modifies and overwrites the `smb.conf` file, essentially replacing its existing content with the configuration defined through the web interface.
By default, SWAT runs over HTTP and not HTTPS/SSL, requiring additional configuration for secure access.
SWAT generates a `smb.conf` file that is clean and does not include comments, focusing solely on the active configuration directives.
To maintain a concise configuration file, SWAT will not write a parameter to `smb.conf` if its value is the default setting for that parameter.
SWAT can be configured to allow changing Microsoft Windows user passwords, provided the underlying Samba setup supports it.
