CIFS: Cannot delete folders

vincent-kali — Thu, 04 Jun 2015 17:22:10 GMT

Hi all,I'm facing a very strange issue on my alfresco 5.0d: when accessingalfresco using CIFS protocol, I can't delete a folder (user is site manager).It must be a misconfiguration… or a huge bug ?My config is:### CIFS-NFS-FTPfilesystem.name=GEDfilesystem.rootPath=${protocols.rootPath}/${spaces.site

Which folder, and what are its permissions?

There's nothing wrong with your config and that's a very unlikely bug. There's something else going on that can't be identified from what you have posted.

Changing configuration to 'cifs.pseudoFiles.enabled=true'
allow us to delete folders through CIFS….
Is this by design ?

Thanks,
Vincent

The user is site manager, and is able to create / delete folder using share UI.
This issue is really problematic for us…..
I can reproduce it on different 5.0d deployment, whatever authentication mecanism is used (ntlm, kerb)

Does somebody else the same issue ?
Should I post a bug ?

thanks,
Vincent

If 'cifs.pseudoFiles.enabled=false', site manager won't be able to delete folders through CIFS.
Alfresco version: 5.0.d

Workaround, if you don't want to see share url and desktop actions on CIFS (this is our case):
- let pseudo files enabled:
cifs.pseudoFiles.enabled=true
- Disable URL
cifs.pseudoFiles.explorerURL.enabled=false
cifs.pseudoFiles.shareURL.enabled=false
- Disable default desktop actions in file-servers-context.xml


  <property name="desktopActionList">
                  <list>
                     <!–bean class="org.alfresco.filesys.repo.desk.CheckInOutDesktopAction">
                       …
                     </bean–>
                     <!–bean class="org.alfresco.filesys.repo.desk.JavaScriptDesktopAction">
                  …
                     </bean–>
                  </list>
               </property>

That's works for us.

I'm unable to delete the user once created permanently. By this I mean that once i create a user and remove the user, the folders created for the user in the repository do not get deleted. So when I try adding the user again it does not send a username and password. How do I solve this?

We are facing the excatly some problem.

Did this manage to hide the Checkin, Checkout .exe Files aswell? Because this is our major issue why we set DisablePseudoFiles true?

Thanks for this solution Vince.

I note that this problem has been logged as a bug and should be fixed in 5.0.2 https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/MNT-14107

I have implemented your workaround fix in 5.0b, and can now delete folders but have the annoying __CheckInOut.exe file remaining (even though I fully modified the file-servers-context.xml file). Any thought on how to fully remove the __CheckInOut.exe file?

Thanks,
