I did a fresh Installation of Pydio 8.0.1 on Server 2016 with IIS 10 and PHP 7.1.
Afterwards I configured authentication via AD and mapped attribute “memberOf” to “GroupPath”.
This created my users and groups.
Now I enabled the Samba driver and tried to setup a workspace to access a samba share.
I tried so many things to get it to work but I didn’t find a solution. Also the docs didn’t help.
What is the easiest way to access my samba shares (also W2k16) on another server?
Even if I understand the interest of your choice.
I will make this choice:
1 - assign drives to your Windows shares on the IIS server
2 - then use the FS drivers (not the SAMBA drivers) for your REPO
FS drivers is more stable and more efficient
Just my point of view
PS : another advice. It is too early to use php 7.1 for many reasons. Make your test with PHP 7.0
Pydio + IIS does not work with Samba share.
Why?
Because access.smb plugin in Pydio relies on smbclient program and access.libsmb requires libsmbclient.
Both smbclient program and libsmbclient lib are now available only on *nix system. There is a version of smbclient for windows but does not stable.
Not exactly: There is no way to access windows share with NTFS permission
If you mount windows share to the server, Pydio will access this mount as a local driver.
It’s not recommended but pydio supports Pydio + Windows + IIS with limits: samba share with ntfs permission, file size < 2g, caching service …
I mounted my share with drive letter Z: and created a workspace. Unfortunately nobody can see this workspace.
The server is connect to AD and there is a group call “Bilder-User”, so prefs are:
General
Label: Bilder
Standard Rights: read only
Alias: bilder-1
Group: /Bilder-User
The default permission of new workspace is none. After creation new workspace, you should grant permission for users in Pydio >> Users & Workspace >> Users or by roles (recommended), or by group
Because he does not have sufficient permission to access (NTFS permission).
It depends on how did you setup this workspace by using Session credential + Auth ldap or with a fixed smb account
Unfortunately this is not correct.
The testuser ist in the group “Bilder-User”. This group has read access (NTFS) to “Z:\Bilder” (but not to Z). I even temporarily added administrative rights to this user, but still the same problem.
Again, I don’t want to give rights to certain users, but to the whole group. Everything else should be done by AD. But nobody who is in this specific group can see the workspace.
Where do I add configure these? I couldn’t find these options!
It requires at least “List folder” permission on Z
When you install Pydio with IIS, the user access to Z:\Bilder is iis worker (in this case is IIS application pool). You should grant access to this user.
Note: It’s recommended not use LocalService, NetworkService, LocalSystem but you create a new application pool for Pydio.
