A.5 Preparing Files for the Hands-on Exercises

After installing and configuring the OES-11 server and its required services, you need to create files and folders on the server in order to use in the exercises in this guide. See the following sections:

A.5.1 Creating Files and Folders

Refer to Figure A-3 and Table A-2 as you create the folders and files that will be used for the exercises.

  1. In iManager, click Roles and Tasks > Files and Folders > New Folder.

  2. Click the Browse icon Browse icon next to the Path field.

  3. In the Contents pane, navigate to FILR-LAB > IS > oes-11_DEV.

  4. In oes-11_DEV, click the \\oes-11\DEV: link.

    IMPORTANT:As you follow these steps, remember that the targets you are selecting are all found in the IS Organizational Unit object container and within their respective volume containers, such as oes-11_DEV.

    Unless you keep the structure of EXAMPLE_TREE in mind, it’s easy to get confused and try to find the DEV volume object in the DEV container.

  5. In the Folder Name field, type personnel, then click OK.

  6. Click Repeat Task.

  7. Click the Browse icon Browse icon next to the Path field, then browse to and click the link to the personnel folder that you just created.

  8. In the Folder Name field, type reviews, then click OK.

  9. Repeat the applicable steps until you have created the folders shown in Figure A-3 and Table A-2.

  10. When you have created all of the folders, click OK.

  11. Continue with Uploading the Files to the OES 11 Server.

A.5.2 Uploading the Files to the OES 11 Server

  1. Download the user exercise files from the Filr Documentation Site and unzip the archive, which contains the files shown below.

    Table A-3 Files and Locations

    File Name

    Path to File

    mpink_2013.odt

    DEV:personnel\reviews\mpink

    2014.ods

    DEV:personnel\salaries

    abc_reqr.odt

    DEV:projects\current

    xyz_reqr.odt

    DEV:projects\future

    Novell-Filr.pdf

    IS:training\quick_starts

    abc_flyer.pdf

    MRKTG:advertising\brochures

    fy_2014.ods

    SALES:revenue\projections

    fy_2013.ods

    SALES:revenue\quotas

  2. In iManager, click Roles and Tasks, then click Files and Folders > Upload.

  3. Click the Browse icon Browse icon next to the Path field, then navigate to the first path shown in Table A-3.

  4. Browse to and click the link to the mpink folder.

  5. Click Browse and navigate to the mpink_2013.odt file that you downloaded in Step 1, then click OK.

  6. Click Repeat Task, then repeat from Step 3 and navigate to the second path, and so on, until all of the files that you created are uploaded to their proper folders.

  7. Continue with Assigning File and Folder Trustee Rights.

A.5.3 Assigning File and Folder Trustee Rights

Filr access to files and folders is ultimately controlled by the rights on the file system. Therefore, you now need to assign the eDirectory users as trustees to the files and folders on the OES-11 server volumes.

  1. Assign the managing users Supervisor rights to their respective volumes:

    1. In iManager, click Roles and Tasks, then click Files and Folders > Properties.

    2. Click the Browse icon Browse icon next to the Name field.

    3. In the Contents pane, navigate to FILR-LAB > IS > oes-11_DEV.

    4. Click the \\oes-11\DEV: link.

    5. Click OK.

    6. Click the Rights tab.

    7. Click the Browse icon Browse icon next to the Add Trustee field.

    8. Browse to FILR-LAB > DEV > USERS, then click the link for user red.

    9. Click OK.

    10. In the Trustees panel, select the S (Supervisor) option. If desired, you can deselect W (Write) and F (File Scan) because S includes those rights.

    11. Click Apply > OK.

    12. Repeat from Step 1.a and assign the following rights:

      • User blue as Supervisor on volume IS.

      • User yellow as Supervisor on volume MRKTG.

      • User black as Supervisor on volume SALES.

      • User filrproxyuser as Supervisor on DEV, HOME, IS, MRKTG, and SALES.

  2. Continue with Proxy User Rights to Volume Objects.

A.5.4 Proxy User Rights to Volume Objects

The filrproxyuser needs Read rights to each volume object. Because filrproxyuser is in the FILR-LAB container above the volume objects, and therefore has Read rights to the objects, no additional action is required.

Continue with Installing and Configuring the Filr Appliance.
