Any full CFIS installation guide?

[kiosklim]

Sincerely apologise at first if there's such thread posted before,however according to the link below:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CIFS_linux and http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Configuration#Running_SMB.2FCIFS_from_a_normal_user_accoun...
It just provide access for admin to login.
Well,is it possible for other user registered in alfresco to use CFIS to map a drive(under XP/Vista OS) to alfresco that i setup in linux server??

If it is,what other setting should i provide my user in their OS(XP,Vista)??

Hey…Thanks for the response
I shall combine these three guide link while setting up the CIFS for my user OS.
Any question will be posted again later..

[kiosklim]

Sorry but im not technical person..

cifs.tcpipSMB.port=1445
cifs.netBIOSSMB.namePort=1137
cifs.netBIOSSMB.datagramPort=1138
cifs.netBIOSSMB.sessionPort=1139
Other port numbers can be used but must be above 1024 to be in the non-privileged range.

As stated above, do i need to put different port for each of my user? or every user share the same setting?


The firewall rules should then be set up to forward requests:
• TCP ports 139/445 to TCP 1139/1445
• UDP ports 137/138 to UDP 1137/1138

And these setting is it setup inside Windows Firewall>Exceptions>Add Port   ?

[loftux]

No, these are all server settings. So you should just set up a firewall rule on the server. On your client, you do not need to do anything, except mount the share.

Oh ..the firewall rule i set in linux(my server OS),  would be using this command line right??

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
modprobe iptable_nat
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 445 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1445
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 139 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1139
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp –dport 137 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1137
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp –dport 138 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1138

Afterwards,as for client OS(XP,vista),how am i going to mount the share? I just use map network drive wizard? and put the UNC (using the client username and password created in alfresco database) as like below:

How to map network drives is a windows usage question, not really this forum

Also, there is lots and lots of question answered around cifs in this forum

Ok il give it a try then..Thanks yeah…Any specific error/problem will have it posted here if no other solution found googling..
Thanks in advance!

[kiosklim]

Hi again..have some difficulty here…
How am i going to configure the CIFS server in file-servers.xml to let map network drive load from normal user account?
Do i need edit anything inside there?other than substitute my own localname?

[loftux]

You should not need to change anything there, the default config would allow any user to map the drive.
