Determination of name for use with CIFS

[crackajaxx]

Just setup an alfresco box and decided that I'd create some content.  When I had created the content, I tried to access it using CIFS, so I glanced at the URL and it was a variation of the hostname.

In this case, the machine was named tyr, but the CIFS url looked something like file://TYR_A/Alfresco/Users/Test/alfresco.html

Couple of questions.  Automatically determining the host would be fine, but how is it coming up with the name that it has.  If I want to expose it through a different interface (and obviously a different hostname), what would I need to configure?

Thanks in advance.

I believe you want to modify the file-servers.xml configuration file. On Tomcat this is located in /tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco.

Here is the relevant portion of the XML:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CIFS Server">
      <host name="${localname}_A"/>
      <comment>Alfresco CIFS Server</comment>

Just change the name attribute of the host element to what you want.

Hope this helps.
