If you enable personal storage for users as outlined in Figure 9-2, then Filr automatically creates a personal storage directory on its data disk. |
|
If your LDAP users have home directory attributes associated with them in the identify store (eDirectory or Active Directory), then when their users accounts are synced, Filr creates special Net Folders that link to their home directories. |
|
If you have enabled personal storage for users who do not have home directories as described on the previous row, then those users see only what is stored in the Filr data store in their . |
|
If you have enabled personal storage for users, and those users also have home directories associated with them in the identity store, they see what is stored in the Filr data store and a folder named under The folder provides a distinction between files and folders in the Filr data store and those in Home directories on the file server. |
|
