Novell Afp; Novell Cifs; Novell Ifolder 3.8; Samba - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER - PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 12-2010 Implementation Manual

17.3.3 Novell AFP

Novell AFP provides native AFP protocol access from Macintosh workstations to data on OES 2
servers, offering the same basic AFP connectivity that was previously available only on NetWare.
No Novell Client software is required.
For information on migrating AFP services from NetWare to OES 2, see "Migrating AFP from
NetWare to OES 2 SP3 Linux " in the OES 2 SP3: Migration Tool Administration Guide.

17.3.4 Novell CIFS

Novell CIFS provides native CIFS protocol access from Windows workstations to data on OES 2
servers, offering the same basic CIFS connectivity that was previously available only on NetWare.
No Novell Client software is required.
For information on migrating CIFS services from NetWare to OES 2, see "Migrating CIFS from
NetWare to OES 2 SP3 Linux" in the OES 2 SP3: Migration Tool Administration Guide.

17.3.5 Novell iFolder 3.8

iFolder 3.8 supports multiple iFolders per user, user-controlled sharing, and a centralized network of
servers to provide scalable file storage and secure distribution. Users can share files in multiple
iFolder folders, and share each iFolder folder with a different group of users. Users control who can
participate in an iFolder folder and their access rights to the files in it. Users can also participate in
iFolder folders that others share with them.
Novell iFolder 3.8 is available only on OES 2.
For information on migrating from iFolder 2 to iFolder 3.8, see "Migrating iFolder 2.x" in the OES
2 SP3: Migration Tool Administration Guide.

17.3.6 Samba

OES 2 includes Samba software to provide Microsoft CIFS and HTTP-WebDAV access to files on
the server. Like Novell CIFS, this is useful to those who don't want to use the Novell Client.
There is no migration path from Novell CIFS (NFAP) to Samba.
For more information about Samba in OES 2, see the OES2 SP3: Samba Administration Guide.

17.4 Aligning NCP and POSIX File Access Rights

NetWare administrators have certain expectations regarding directory and file security. For example,
they expect that home directories are private and that only the directory owners can see directory
contents. However, because of the differences in the NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) and POSIX file
security models (see Section 21.2.1, "Comparing the Linux and the Novell Trustee File Security
Models," on page 221) that is not the case by default on POSIX file systems.
Fortunately, when you install Linux User Management (LUM) in OES 2, there is an option to make
home directories private. This option automatically provides the privacy that NetWare
administrators are used to seeing. Unfortunately, the option only applies to newly created home
directories, so there is more to understand and do if aligning access rights is an issue for you.
