You could set the user authentication to SMB through Yast - Security, groups and users - Authentication settings.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for reply. I have already configured samba.

As in Win server with Active directory in domain client user give their user & pass only one time at login to domain & get their drive in my computer.
I want to do same with open suse i.e user give user name & password only one time at xp logon & get their drive.
currently,
