Configuring CIFS Home Shares

Enable CIFS home shares to create a share per client that is limited to that client.
  1. Create a CIFS share that is the root of all the users’ folders. For example, create a CIFS share named users, at directory /users.
  2. Give ownership of the CIFS share to the account that will create the folders (either using a user created script or manually) for each user’s home share.
    1. Using Windows Explorer, connect to the CIFS share.
    2. In the security setting of the CIFS share, click on Advanced, and change the owner to Domain Admins, a specific Domain Administrator, or a FluidFS cluster administrator account.
    3. Disconnect from the CIFS share and reconnect to it as the account that has ownership of it, as previously set in step (b).
  3. Create a CIFS share containing a user‐based directory tree.
    1. Click the NAS Volumes tab on the left.
    2. Click the All CIFS Shares tab on the top.
    3. In the Home Shares pane, click Settings icon..
    4. Click Modify Home Shares Policy. The Modify Home Shares Policy dialog box appears.
    5. Click Enable home shares. The home shares details are displayed.
    6. Click the […] button to the right of the NAS volume field. The NAS Volume Browser opens.
    7. Select the NAS volume on which the CIFS home shares are located and click OK.
    8. Click the […] button to the right of the Initial path field. The Folder Browser opens.
    9. Browse to the path created in step (1), for example /users, and click OK.
    10. Select the template for the users’ home folders:
      • Initial path, domain name, and user name
      • Initial path and user name
    11. Click OK.
  4. Using Windows Explorer, for each user to whom you want to assign a home share, create a folder that conforms to the Folder Template you selected in step (h).
