| Details | How do I configure a file service node for webNetwork 5. |
| Resolution | To configure a native node: * Remember that native is where the SWIFT services is running. Host <blank> Path : Windows - c:\stoneware Linux/Unix - /usr/stoneware Netware - sys:\stoneware To configure a CIFS node: Example Information: Server IP # : 192.168.1.31 CIFS Share : c$ Host : 192.168.1.31 Path : c$ When you enter in the specified credentials , you can enter in a generic username/password or pass in the users credentials. When authenticating against microsoft AD, you typically use @@attr:samaccountname@@ and @@password@@ XP Home by default uses GUEST account for file sharing. Guest does not have a password unless you set one using the NET USER GUEST <password> Neware node * No longer valid To configure a FTP node: Example Information: FTP server : 192.168.1.11 Path : /shared Host : 192.168.1.11 Path : /shared To configure a Netware FTP Server node: * A feature of the Netware FTP server is the ability to change to any netware server in the tree from one ftp server. Example Information: FTP Server : 192.168.1.11 Netware server : NWServ1 Netware volume : Data Netware path : myfiles Host : 192.168.1.11 Path : //NWServ1/Data/myfiles * If you need to make a Netware FTP Server node to the users home directory a special webNetwork variable has been created called : @@ftphomedir@@ Host : 192.168.1.11 Path : @@ftphomedir@@ When you enter in the specified credentials to authenticate, you can either use a generic hard coded username and password or you can pass in the users credentials. This is typically in the format of .@@asndsdn(userdn)@@ / @@password@@ Other tips: CIFS: Test a cifs connection by using command line tools. From windows type : net use j: \\myserver\myshare /user:username password This way you can test the proper username and password combination. If this does not work, then there is a good chance that webNetwork will fail to connect. If you are unsure of the share you can do a net view /all \\1.1.1.1 If you are unsure of what the microsoft name of the server is you can use net view <ip number> /all and it will list information about that server. You can also use nbtstat -a <ip number> (linux : nmblookup -A server-name ) to list the broadcast name and the services is provides. The service list can be found here : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q163409/ You can also make a link under admin to /apps/tools/cifs.jsp use this tool to test cifs connections. For FTP connections use / (forward slashes) FTP Servers should be in Unix mode. If on a linux box use: mount -t cifs //192.168.1.41/c$ /tmp/mymountarea -o user=administrator,pass=mypassword,domain=mydomain This will mount the cifs share on 192.168.41 of c$ in /tmp/mymountarea using the username of administrator and the password of mypassword and domain of mydomain. You may not need to provide a domain. Always tests the node hard coding credentials, once working change to use stoneware variables if needed. Make a link in your portal to /stonewareVariables.jsp and run that link to display a common set of stoneware variables. You may be able to use @@typelessuserid@@ for username, but may have to use @@attr:samAccountName@@ depending on your configuration. This microsoft url helps explain what actually happens when you use the net use command and how the server responds. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749912.aspx |
