CIFS Problems

vasillalov

Hi Folks,

I am having a weird issue with CIFS access. It seems that all users get logged into the same folder and they can see the same files.

Example:
I created a user test and set the password. Then I uploaded some content and it shows up correctly. Then I created a new user testnew. The problem is that both user test and testnew see the same CIFS folder after authentication. There has to be away to put each user in its own "Home" folder in CIFS.

Any suggestions.

CIFS is merely another protocol (along with FTP, WebDAV, etc) thru which you are authenticated, and given access to the underlying repository. Unless you specify a particular path, all users will start at "Company Home" - and will see all objects based on their assigned permissions.

If you want users to start in their home directory, just specify that location when establishing a share.

Agreed!

This is exactly what is happening.

How would I go about making those configuration changes? I could not dig this up from the wiki…

Thanks for the help in advance!

Checkout http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Configuration to see how to specify a different root location. It won't do user-by-user values at the config level, but you could use it to reset the share's top level to User Home.

Also, each user can further indicate where they want their share to begin as part of creating the initial mapping via

I found out something interesting:

When creating a user account, one can specify the specific folder name in which the User Home will be created. All user content then gets stored there. This is exactly what I was looking for: per-user home folder separation.

Now the next challenge is to make WebDav log that user in their User Home and not in the Company Home.

Any suggestions?
