CIFS Configuration

doughertyma

I'm configuring my Alfresco server and can't find detailed infomation on how to configure CIFS. Does anyone have a real life example of what the file-server-custom.xml should look like? I have a DEV server with a Alfresco space named Projects. I want to create a CIFS filesystem named DEVProjects.

Thanks, Melissa

Hello,

Tip: use google to search all of Alfresco by adding "site:*.alfresco.com" to your query. In this case, you're searching for "cifs" so at google type this: site:*.alfresco.com cifs

I'm still confused….. is the host name is the file-servers-custom.xml the name of the CIFS server or the name of the computer? Is this how a user would connect? \\AlfrescoFS

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CIFS Server" replace="true">
   <serverEnable enabled='true'/>
   <host name="AfrescoFS"/>
   <comment>Alfresco CIFS Server</comment>

And… how does this work with the follow?

       <filesystem name="Test">
            <store>workspace://SpacesStore</store>
            <rootPath>/app:company_home</rootPath>
           <relativePath>/Test</relativePath>

This is my first time configuring this…. please help.

Hi Melissa,

Let your file-servers-custom.xml contain following piece of code….

<filesystem name="Alfresco">
<store>workspace://SpacesStore</store>
<rootPath>/app:company_home</rootPath>
………
……..
You can get the actual CIFS path from your webclient
In the webclient go the company home->view details -> right click view on CIFS ->Copy shortcut ->take the url and manipulate the url bit..[ As you have to replace "/" with "\"]

a typical CIFS path would look like

\\hostnameA\Alfresco

e.g if your hostname is SYSHOME, so it should be
\\SYSHOMEA\Alfresco

Note:- CIFS automatically adds "A" to the URL, you can try without "A" also.

See if it helps.

Thanks
Kayan.

I've completed the configuration for the http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Configuring_the_CIFS_and_web_servers_for_Kerberos/AD_integration. However, it's still not working. The message I get is logon unsuccessful. There is no detailed message in the Alfresco Tomcat log. Below are some details….

File-servers-custom.xml:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CIFS Server" replace="true">
   <serverEnable enabled='true'/>
   <host name="ALF-DEV-FS" />
   <comment>Alfresco CIFS Server</comment>

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Filesystem Security">
<authenticator type="enterprise">
    <KDC>somo.test.gov</KDC>
    <Realm>TEST.GOV</Realm>
    <Password>…..</Password>
</authenticator>
</config>


<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Filesystems" replace="true">
         <filesystems>

         <filesystem name="TEST">
            <store>workspace://SpacesStore</store>
            <rootPath>/app:company_home</rootPath>
           <relativePath>/TEST</relativePath>

Through the Alfresco web app, I can drill-down into ->Company Home ->Test and see the sub folders. But when I try to connect like this \\ALF-DEV\TEST, I get the logon error.

Any suggestions?

Melissa
