4.2 Viewing or Modifying Directory and File Attributes and Rights

NetStorage provides the ability to view or change NSS directory and file rights. This is particularly useful if you need to change directory and file rights, but do not have Novell Client software installed or running on a client workstation.

To view or modify directory or file rights using NetStorage

  1. Start your browser and specify the URL for NetStorage.

    The URL is http://server_ip_address/oneNet/NetStorage/. Replace server_ip_address with the IP address or DNS name of the server running NetStorage or the IP address for Apache-based services. If Apache-based services use a port other than 80, you must also specify that port number with the URL.

    For example, if the IP address for NetStorage is 127.1.1.1, then you would specify 127.1.1.1/oneNet/NetStorage/.

    In the above example, if you had changed the port number to 51080, then you would specify 127.1.1.1:51080/oneNet/NetStorage/.

    Although the oneNet portion of the URL is required if you are using WebDAV (Web Folders), it is not required if you are using a browser. In a browser, you can just use 127.1.1.1/NetStorage/.

    The date and time on the workstation being used to access NetStorage should be (within a few hours) of the date and time on the server running NetStorage to avoid conflicts.

  2. Enter your username and password.

    NetStorage uses your Novell eDirectory username and password, so you don't need to remember or use a separate username or password.

  3. Right-click the directory or file you want to view or modify attributes or rights for and select Properties.

  4. Click the NetWare Info tab to view or modify attributes or the NetWare Rights tab to view or modify rights.

For more information on directory and file attributes and rights, see the Novell Client 4.91 SP5 for Windows XP/2003 Installation and Administration Guide.

NOTE:Viewing or changing directory and file attributes and rights through NetStorage is only possible with a browser. This functionality is not available through Microsoft Web Folders.
