Sun Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access 7.2 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Configure the Basic Options

  1. Log onto the Portal Server administration console as administrator.

  2. Select the Secure Remote Access tab and select the Netfile tab.

  3. Select a DN for a user or an organization from Select DN list or add a DN.

  4. Modify the following attributes:

    Attribute Name 

    Description 

    COS Priority 

    Specify value that is used to determine the inheritance of the attribute values. For more information on this attribute, see the Sun Java System Directory Server Administration Guide.

    Domain/Host Preferences 

    Enter the default domain that NetFile requires to contact allowed hosts. 

    This default domain value is applicable only if the user does not specify a fully qualified host name while adding a host using NetFile. 


    Note –

    Ensure that the Default Domain field is not blank, and that it contains a valid domain name.


    Default WINS/DNS Server 

    Enter the WINS/DNS server host address that NetFile uses to access Microsoft Windows hosts. 


    Note –

    A user can override this value by specifying a different value while adding a machine.


    Host Detection Order 

    Use the Move Up and Move Down button to specify the host detention order. 

    Common Hosts 

    Enter either the host name or the fully qualified name and click Add. 

    If the host name that you have provided matches the host name configured by the user, the two sets of information are merged and the user-specified values override the values that you specified. 

    Configure a list of hosts to be available through NetFile to all remote NetFile users. 


    Note –

    For example, suppose you have configured 4 common hosts - sesta, siroe, florizon, and abc. A user configures 3 hosts out of which 2 are sesta and siroe. User-specified values override administrator-specified values in such conflict situations. florizon and abc are also listed in the user’s NetFile, and the user can carry out various operations on those hosts. In case you have listed florizon in the Denied Hosts List, florizon is listed in the user’s NetFile, but no operation can be carried out on florizon.

    Host Type—If the user has already added a host that is listed in the Common Hosts list, the user setting takes precedence. If a conflict in the type exists, the shares added by the administrator are not added for that user. If the user and the administrator add the same share, the share is added, but the password set by the user takes precedence.
