Setting Virtual Document Directories

A virtual document directory allows you to serve documents from directories that do not reside on the file server where your Enterprise Web Server is running but that do exist in the same tree as the server where your Web Server is running.

IMPORTANT:  If your eDirectory^TM User objects for users who need access to their Virtual Document Directories are in a different container than the eDirectory Server object (for the NetWare server running the Enterprise Web Server), the containers that include the User objects with Virtual Document Directories must be in a partition that is replicated (master or read/write) on the server that the Enterprise Web Server is running on.

Establishing the Path to the Directory

1. From the Web Manager home page, click Enterprise Web Server servername > Content Management > Additional Document Directories.

2. In the URL Prefix field, enter a key word (for example text) to represent the path to the virtual directory.

3. In the Map to Directory field, specify the path to your documents in the following format:

   servername\volume:\directory\subdirectory

Providing Public Access

To provide public access to the virtual directory in eDirectory mode and restart the server:

1. From the Web Manager home page, click Enterprise Web Server servername > Server Preferences > Restrict Access.

2. Click Insert File and enter the path (or any portion of the path you want to be public) using the following syntax:

   servername\volume:\directory\subdirectory

3. Click OK > Save Changes.

4. To effect the changes, click On/Off under Server Preferences to restart the server.

Setting Server Access

To give the file server that is running the Enterprise Web Server access to the directory structure of the server where the index file resides, the Enterprise Web Server file server must be configured as a trustee of that directory. Use ConsoleOne^TM to set the rights.
