File Services 203novdocx (en) 22 June 2009For example: eDirectory users must exist in the eDirectory tree where the OES server resides and have accessrights to the files and directories on the OES server. Windows users must exist on the Windows systems and have the required access rights to thefiles and directories on those systems. If your users will access Samba files on an OES 2 server, they must be enabled for LUM andSamba access on the OES 2 server. For more information, see “Services in OES 2 That RequireLUM-Enabled Access” on page 152.IMPORTANT: The usernames and passwords used to authenticate to the NetStorage (OES) serverthrough eDirectory must match the usernames and passwords defined on the target systems.17.7.4 Authenticating to Access Other Target SystemsThe OES installation establishes a primary authentication domain for NetStorage. To access anystorage location, users must exist somewhere in this primary domain. When it receives anauthentication request, NetStorage searches for the username in the context you specified duringOES installation and in all its subcontexts.Authentication to other file systems is often controlled by other authentication domains. Forexample, you might create a storage location on the OES 2 server that points to a legacy NetWareserver that resides in a different eDirectory tree. To access this storage location, users mustauthenticate to the other tree.This means that you must specify an additional context in the NetStorage configuration as anonprimary authentication domain.When defining a nonprimary authentication domain, you must Ensure that the username and password in the nonprimary domain matches the username andpassword in the primary domain. Specify the exact context where User objects reside. NetStorage doesn’t search the subcontextsof nonprimary authentication domains.For more information about managing NetStorage authentication domains, see “AuthenticationDomains” in the OES 2 SP2: NetStorage for Linux Administration Guide.17.7.5 NetStorage Authentication Is Not Persistent by DefaultBy default, users must reauthenticate each time they access NetStorage in a browser. This is trueeven if another browser window is open and authenticated on the same workstation.The reason for this is that persistent cookies are not enabled by default.This setting can be changed. For more information, see “Persistent Cookies” in the OES 2 SP2:NetStorage for Linux Administration Guide.
