Shared Folder with OpenLDAP authenticator: where are the configurations?

[saitobenkei]

Nethserver 7.3.1611 (rc4)

I’m trying Shared Folders with OpenLDAP but, in dashboard, I can only set if the folder “is browseable” and the “Recycle Bin”.

I can’t find where I can assign a read/write group, if the share is browseable by guest user, etc… like in NS 6.8

Thank you

The Open LDAP account provider has no options to set share permissions. You can’t use ACL file permissions if you use OpenLDAP account provider.
If your goal is too set share permissions you have to go with Samba4 AD account provider.

So I can’t have the configuration panel of the shared folders as in v 6.8?

No good…

You can have the same configuration only if nethserver-dc is installed.

[saitobenkei]

I’m a bit confused…

If I want only a workgroup, I can’t have the full configuration of shared folders.
If I want the full configuration of shared folders i have to setup a domain.

Exactly: it’s a design choice to support both Samba AD and OpenLDAP.

Samba Active Directory or OpenLDAP

Hi Guys! Now a quite naive question, do not laugh … I use the NS as a home server with the following options: A) File server B) eMail server (Sogo with CalDAV and CardDav) C) virtual web server D) VPN E) nextcloud As a client are used tablet with Android, Smartphone, Netbook and Linux computer. I use no Windows computer, what makes more sense then: Samba Active Directory or OpenLDAP What would be the advantages / disadvantages for me? I would be grateful for simple understandable mea…

The whole decision comes to a very long discussion, just few pointers:

Proposal for ns7 VirtualHost page

I think the stupid here is our UI and we shall improve it! This is my proposal for ns7. Let’s create a new page, say Virtual hosts. Generally, a virtual host requires a DNS record, and the right place to set it up by now is under the DNS > Alias server page. Virtual hosts lists the same items of DNS > Alias server, and could also allow creating a new one. I think it is more intuitive to allow both methods of creation. In other words the two pages should offer different views of the same …

Discussion: scenarios to choose an account provider

NethServer Version: NS7 Module: account provider If we install NS with aim to be able to create user accounts, we have to make a very basic decision what account provider to use. In this discussion I would like to make it clear in what scenario which account provider would be the best choice. I would like to do this so, that the outcome of this discussion will be bundled in this start topic and finally added to the wiki. Maybe it is a good idea to first identify several scenario’s and then…

File Server / Shared folders module available on NS7

The “File Server” module has come back on NS7 and is now ready for testing RPMs have been pushed also to “nethserver-updates” repository and will be available from mirrors in the next hours Me, @giacomo and @Stll0 worked on the “Shared Folder” page with Virtual Hosts and AD Domain Controller role in mind. These are the results: The “Shared folder” page configures only Samba shares; the “Web access” panel has been moved to the (work in progress) “Virtual hos…

Where is “I don’t like that” button?

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

You can still have the same functions of ns6 by installing nethserver-dc: why don’t you like it?

[saitobenkei]

Because I don’t want to setup a domain and have same functions of NG 6.x

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

@saitobenkei

I don’t want to setup a domain

Why don’t you want it? Please help me to understand your point of view!

[saitobenkei]

Because I think that’s superflous setup a domain when there are only few users or when I have to integrate the server in a already existent lan where I don’t have the full control or where I have to reconfigure a lot of things, etc…

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

@saitobenkei

when I have to integrate the server in a already existent lan where I don’t have the full control

I understand in this scenario the additional IP required by nethserver-dc could be a limitation.

We could tweak its network configuration, to bind an internal virtual adapter and make the DC disappear completely from the LAN, or assign it to a different subnet and add an IP alias for the server itself.

@saitobenkei

Why is it superfluous?

@saitobenkei

where I have to reconfigure a lot of things, etc…

What are those things?

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

I think that your point of view could be acceptable but sometimes you need to make choices and as @giacomo already said we have discussed that a lot openly and transparently.
By now, we couldn’t technically do more and I hope that you are able to get the complexity here since we have changed many things with the 7 version.
Honestly, I think that your “I don’t like that” doesn’t respect our discussions, I encourage you to keep the topic positive and constructive

I tried specifying a different address in another subnet than green lan in “account provider” during the creation of the DC but I have an error:

IP address
Must be part of a green network with bridge interface
