2.4 Common Internet File System (CIFS)

2.4.1 Folder Redirection to an OES CIFS Share is Not Supported

Folder Redirection of a user's folders to a CIFS share on an OES server is not currently supported.

Micro Focus plans to fix this in a future OES release.

2.4.2 CIFS Proxy User Configuration Fails

CIFS proxy user configuration fails if the container name contains special characters \, +, and space.

Micro Focus has no current plans to change this.

2.4.3 CIFS User Authentication Fails On an NTLMv2-enabled Windows XP Client in the First Attempt

CIFS user authentication from a Windows XP client fails on the first attempt. The second time the user attempts to log in, authentication occurs as expected if NTLMv2 is enabled on Windows XP clients.

Micro Focus has no current plans to change this.

2.4.4 Installing CIFS after the OES Installation does not Export Local Volumes and Shares

Installing CIFS after the OES installation does not mount local volumes on a physical server through CIFS. This happens when the share-vols-default option is set to NO.

The novcifs --share-vols-default=SERVER_NAME --value=yes|no option should be enabled by default for physical servers and virtual servers to export all the volumes and shares belonging to the sever. The server name is case-sensitive and can be listed by running the novcifs --list-servers command.

To resolve this issue, restart the CIFS service to set the --share-vols-default option to YES and export all local volumes and shares. Restarting the CIFS service is not required for a cluster resource or for a volume created on a virtual server.

Micro Focus plans to fix this issue in a future OES release.
