Configuring Windows/Unix folder access

In the web UI, go to File System > CIFS Directories. In the native UI, select Configure > Windows/Unix Folders from the menu bar.

The CIFS Directories page is displayed in the web UI. The Windows/Unix Folder Configuration dialog box is displayed in the native UI.

Click New.

The Windows/Unix Inbound/Outbound Folder dialog box appears.

Enter values for the fields as needed.

Domain: The name of the Domain for the user. If this is not a domain login, then leave this field empty.
User ID
Password: The credentials the product will use to connect to the share.
UNC Paths: A list of UNC-type paths (\\servername\sharedfolder) that can be accessed through this option. Enter one UNC path per line. VersaLex will perform a case-insensitive match against these paths to determine whether it should use this feature to access the Windows/Unix folder. The paths entered in other places (such as Inbox, Outbox, Sentbox, Receivedbox) will be compared against this list. If the complete folder name listed in UNC Paths matches the beginning folder in the Inbox field (as an example), then the folder will be accessed using the entered domain, username, and password.

Optional. Click Validate to verify the paths can be accessed using the entered user information. This button will only check read access on the UNC paths entered.

Once all the information has been entered click OK.

Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each Domain/User pair needed.

The updated Windows/Unix Folder Configuration panel is displayed. Enter any necessary JCIFS properties in the Custom JCIFS Properties field (one per line). These properties are described at the following website: http://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/api/overview-summary.html#scp . On Unix platforms, we have seen increased performance if the following properties are set:

jcifs.resolveOrder=DNS

jcifs.smb.client.dfs.disabled=true

In addition to the properties described on the web page, there are some additional ones defined by Cleo. These should only be configured at the direction of Cleo Technical Support. The following are the default values:

jcifs.cleo.debugOn=false

jcifs.cleo.max.semaphores=-1

jcifs.cleo.startOSSmbAccess=false

The List by choices at the top of the panel chose the display format for the Domain/User ID/Folder list. The Domain/UserID choice will order the list by Domain/User ID. The Folder choice will order the list by Windows/Unix Inbound/Outbound Folder name.

Create links for the Inbound and Outbound Files.

The next step is to enter the UNC paths into the fields where they are required. The following is a list of the locations where the Windows/Unix Folders (UNC paths) are NOT supported:

Configure > Options > Other > Autorun Directory
Tools > Router > Autoroute Directory
View > File
Selection of the folder using the File Chooser anywhere in the product
