Determination of name for use with CIFS

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Just setup an alfresco box and decided that I'd create some content.  When I had created the content, I tried to access it using CIFS, so I glanced at the URL and it was a variation of the hostname.

In this case, the machine was named tyr, but the CIFS url looked something like file://TYR_A/Alfresco/Users/Test/alfresco.html

Couple of questions.  Automatically determining the host would be fine, but how is it coming up with the name that it has.  If I want to expose it through a different interface (and obviously a different hostname), what would I need to configure?

Thanks in advance.

I believe you want to modify the file-servers.xml configuration file. On Tomcat this is located in /tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco.

Here is the relevant portion of the XML:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CIFS Server">
      <host name="${localname}_A"/>
      <comment>Alfresco CIFS Server</comment>

Just change the name attribute of the host element to what you want.

Hope this helps.
