Service

Details

Explored for This User in This Guide

Novell iFolder® 3.8

Can create and share its own iFolders and accept invitations from others to share their iFolders.

Yes. This was done previously in Section 8.5, Configuring iFolder Accounts and Creating iFolders.

Novell AFP

Can access any NSS directories to which it has rights.

Access rights to directories are governed by the NSS file system, allowing the user to only see and do what it has rights for.

See Section 11.10, Macintosh Exercises and Novell AFP.

Novell CIFS

Can access any NSS directories to which it has rights.

Access rights to directories are governed by the NSS file system, allowing the user to only see and do what it has rights for.

No

NetStorage

Can access NetStorage because of the Storage Location Object created in Section 10.2.2, Creating a Storage Location Object in iManager.

NetStorage provides this user with access to its home directory, which it would otherwise not have.

Yes, to demonstrate file copying and deleting.

Also to show that the linux2_lum-edir directory is publicly available, and not private as a NetWare® administrator would expect it to be. In fact, the directory can also be written to by any member of the LUMUsers group because of the action you took in Step 15.

iPrint

Can install and use the printer made available in Section 9.0, iPrint.

No

11.2.2 Using NetStorage

  1. Log in to the Windows workstation as the linux1_lum-edir user.

  2. Close the iFolder window.

  3. Open your browser and log into NetStorage by using the following URL:

    http://IP or DNS/netstorage

    where IP or DNS is your OES 2 server’s IP address or DNS name.

  4. Type linux1_lum-edir as the User Name, type the associated password in the Password field, then click OK.

  5. Select the Linux_Home_Directories storage location you created in Section 10.2.2, Creating a Storage Location Object in iManager.

  6. Open the linux1_lum-edir directory.

  7. Click File > Upload.

    NetStorage doesn’t support dragging and copying files. Instead you upload files you want to store from the workstation to the server, and you download files you want to work with from the server to the workstation.

  8. If prompted, disable the pop-up blocker and click File > Upload again if necessary to open the Upload File dialog box.

  9. Click the Browse button.

  10. If you are using Windows XP, browse to the Shared Documents folder where you copied the four files in Step 3, select the first file and click Open.

    If you are using Windows 7, browse to Libraries > Documents. Select the first file and click Open.

  11. Click the plus (+) sign next to Browse, then repeat the same process to select and open the other three files.

  12. Click the Upload button.

    All four files should now be copied to the linux1_lum-edir directory.

  13. Select the linux2_lum-edir, ncp_edir, and ncp_lum-edir folders in turn and attempt to copy the first file to each folder.

    Because you assigned full rights the LUMUsers group in Step 15, the first copy attempt succeeds, but the other attempts fail because the linux1_lum-edir user doesn’t have the necessary rights to the ncp* user folders.

  14. Open the linux1_lum-edir folder, then select MyPrivateFile.txt.

  15. Click File > Delete > OK.

    The file is deleted.

  16. Click View > Show Deleted Files.

    The deleted file is not listed because this feature relies on the Salvage and Purge functionality that is available only on NSS volumes, and the underlying file system for the /home directory we are working with is Reiser, not NSS.

    For more information on using NetStorage, see the OES 2 SP3: NetStorage Administration Guide.
