7.2 Enabling NFAP Services on the LAB_NW Server

When you created the nw_edir user in iManager, you also created a home directory for the user on the HOME_NW NSS volume on the virtualized NetWare server LAB_NW.

By default, all NSS volumes on NetWare servers are available for CIFS and AFP access. To configure CIFS access, you must complete two tasks:

7.2.1 Creating a Share for the HOME_NW Volume

NetWare CIFS requires that you specify the shares that users can access.

  1. In iManager > Roles and Tasks, click File Protocols > CIFS.

  2. Click the Browse icon next to the Server field, then browse to and select the LAB_NW server.

  3. Click the Shares tab, then click the Add sub-tab.

  4. In the Share Name field, type home_nw.

    This is the name used to attach to the share.

  5. Click the Browse icon Browse icon next to the Volume field.

  6. In the Object Selector, click the down-arrow Down Arrow icon next to the LAB_NW_HOME_NW volume, then click the link to the volume.

  7. Click OK > OK.

7.2.2 Specifying a Search Context

You must specify a search context that NetWare can use to find users needing CIFS access.

  1. Log into your VM host server as root and click Computer > YaST > Virtualization > Virtual Machine Manager.

  2. Double-click the LAB_NW_VM virtual machine.

  3. On the NetWare GUI, click the File Browser (folder) icon once to activate the mouse pointer and once to select the browser.

  4. Double-click the SYS: volume.

  5. Double-click the ETC folder.

  6. Scroll down and double-click the cifsctxs.cfg file.

    Notice that the search context is set to the SERVERS container. User searches occur only in the contexts specified in this file. Subcontainers are not searched.

  7. Edit the file, replacing SERVERS with USERS, so that the line reads

    OU=USERS.OU=LAB.O=COMPANY

  8. Save the file, close the editor, and close the file browser.

  9. Click the Server Console (computer) icon.

  10. Stop and then start the CIFS service by entering the following commands:

    CIFSSTOP

    CIFSSTRT

  11. Press Ctrl+Alt to release the mouse, then close both of the Virtual Machine Manager windows.

  12. Continue with Section 8.0, iFolder 3.8.
