Allow Access to FTP, NFS, Microsoft Windows, and NetWare Systems

These options enable or disable support for access to FTP, NFS, Microsoft Windows, and NetWare systems. You must obtain the NetWare software separately. NetFile will automatically detect the type of file system for a selected system. Access to a system that supports multiple access types is assigned in the following order:

• Allow access to Windows systems

• Allow access to FTP systems

• Allow access to NFS systems

• Allow access to NetWare systems

  ---

  Note -

  The information for NetWare will only appear on the NetFile Configuration page, if you have installed NetCon 7.0 from the NetCon Corporation on the i-Planet server. You can use NetCon 7.0 only with Solaris 2.5.1. and 2.6.

  ---

  The machine type is determined by seeing if a connection can be established to well-known ports. For example, 139 is used for Microsoft Windows networking (for Windows `95, `98, and NT), 21 is used for FTP, and 2049 is used NFS.

  If, for example, a system can be reached through Microsoft Windows networking, then it will treated as a Microsoft Windows system, regardless of whether or not it can also be reached through FTP.

  Note -

  If you have not installed the Samba software to allow access to a Microsoft Windows network, then enabling Microsoft Windows system setting on the NetFile Configuration page will not provide end users access. The Samba software is on the i-Planet CD-ROM, "Contains 3rd Party Software Packages Only."

• NT Domain Name--Enter the name of the NT domain that provides authentication to your Microsoft Windows network.

All of the remote windowing functions and applications below are only available through the Java version of NetFile.

• Use NT Application proxy--Enables or disables Netlet support for a Citrix-based proxy.

• Allow Telnet Connections--Enables or disables Netlet support for Telnet access to the hosts that the end users select.

• Allow X Windows Connections--Enables or disables Netlet support for X Windows. It allows an end user to run an X Window session over the Internet. The GO-Joe client software is included with the i-Planet server. For more information on GO-Joe, see Appendix C, Third-Party Software.

• Allow Remote Control Connections--Enables or disables Netlet support for remotely controlling Microsoft Windows Desktop systems. The supported remote control products are listed in "Netlet" section of this chapter.

All remote control software (except pcANYWHERE) must be configured to send all traffic to localhost. The Netlet will intercept this local traffic, encrypt it, and route it through the i-Planet proxy. If end users want to use pcANYWHERE software, they must install the pcANYWHERE host on the PCs that they want to control remotely on the private network. See the section "pcANYWHERE" in Appendix C, Third-Party Software for instructions on installing and configuring pcANYWHERE.

With pcANYWHERE's Java client, you do not need to install client software.

End users must install the appropriate client remote-control software on their local PC and appropriate server software on remote systems, if they want to use a remote-control application. (The GO-Joe server software is included on the i-Planet CD-ROM, "Contains 3rd Party Software Packages Only.") They should check the documentation of the remote-control application for any requirements.

End users should verify that the remote-control software is working properly before attempting to use it through i-Planet.
