Sun Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access 7.2 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Configure the Operation Privileges

You can allow or deny permission for users to perform the following tasks from remote hosts.

  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 

    File Rename 

    Select the Allow checkbox to enable users to rename files. This option is selected by default. 

    File/Folder Deletion 

    Select the Allow checkbox to enable users to delete files and directories. This option is selected by default. 

    File Upload 

    Select the Allow checkbox to enable users to upload files. This option is selected by default. 

    File/Folder Download 

    Select the Allow checkbox to enable users to download files or directories. This option is selected by default. 

    File Search 

    Select the Allow checkbox to enable users to perform file search operations. This option is selected by default. 

    File Mail 

    Select the Allow checkbox to enable users to access to mail. This option is selected by default. 

    File Compression 

    Select the Allow checkbox to enable users to choose the compression type. This option is selected by default. 

    Changing User Id 

    Select the Allow checkbox to enable users to change their user ID. Users can use different IDs to connect to hosts using NetFile. 

    In a large organization, users may have multiple user IDs. You may want to restrict users to use a single user ID. In that case, you can disable the Allow Changing User ID option. This prevents all the users in the specific organization from changing their user ID, and limits them to using a single ID (the desktop login ID) to connect to hosts using NetFile. In another situation, a user may have different login IDs on different machines, in which case, you may want to allow the user to change the ID as required. 

    Changing Microsoft Windows Domains 

    Select the Allow checkbox to enable users to change the default Microsoft Windows domain host. This option is selected by default. 

    When the user specifies a domain name, the username and password for that domain also needs to be specified. If the username and password for the host needs to be used, the user needs to remove the domain from the User Domain name field. 


    Note –

    When the any of the above options are not selected, the changes takes effect only after the user logs onto Portal Server desktop again.
