    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Hey all,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Trying Alfresco 4.2b on linux (fedora 14), with the CIFS (windows shares) support.&amp;nbsp; Default install, nothing fancy other than:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;alfresco-global.properties:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;============&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;cifs.enabled=true&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;cifs.serverName=&amp;lt;ipaddress&amp;gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;cifs.tcpipSMB.port=1445&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;cifs.netBIOSSMB.namePort=1137&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;cifs.netBIOSSMB.datagramPort=1138&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;cifs.netBIOSSMB.sessionPort=1139&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;============&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;And iptable setup to reroute to the privelaged port areas (so 445 &amp;lt;-&amp;gt; 1445).&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Browsing from my Windows 7 box, I see the windows share, authenticate (using the Alfresco credentials as not setup for AD/etc), add content (folder and files, in this case .docx files).&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;So, all looks good except all the files are 'locked for editing by another user'.&amp;nbsp; Restarted alfresco several times trying things out, no timeouts (although I did eventually get the SecureContext error after walking away and coming back later, but all other attempts there were no errors in either alfresco.log nor catalina.out….so I suspect the locked/read-only is a different problem).&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;My own little checklist:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;*Is alfresco starting the fileServer subsystem without errors? yes&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;*Can you use /alfresco/ or /share/ to fine after you setup CIFS? yes&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;*Can you browse from a Win7 machine to the CIFS share (\\&amp;lt;ipaddress&amp;gt;\)? yes&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;*Can you create a Site through /alfresco/ or /share/ and see those folders appear in the CIFS through win7? yes&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;*Can you add folders and files through CIFS and have them visible in /alfresco/ or /share/? yes&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;*Can you add folders and files through /alfresco/ or /share/ and have them visible to CIFS? yes&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;*If you add a .docx file through CIFS, can you edit through CIFS? no - locked for editing by another user.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;—after restart? no - locked for editing by another user&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;—does /alfresco/ or /share/ say the file is locked? no&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;—-are you sure?&amp;nbsp; yes - I edited/locked some different files to make sure I could see the difference between an 'alfresco' locked/edited files and those not locked.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;*If you add a .docx file through /alfresco/ or /share/ can you edit through CIFS? no -locked for editing by another user.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Question: As an end user, am I not using CIFS shares correctly, or are there problems with my configurations (let me know what else to try out/change/test), or are there bugs around CIFS and/or .docx specific files and/or something else?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;summary:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;alfresco CE 4.2b&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;fedora 14&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;win7 client, Word 2007 application&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;thanks for any assistance,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;-Darren&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
