FTS Server configurations for Linux
After you install the File Type Support (FTS) Server, you must configure your Linux instance of WorldServer to communicate with it.
To make WorldServer instances installed on Linux work with the FTS Server, you need to take the following into consideration:
- Certain configurations require an understanding of Samba or NFS.
- The Samba interoperability suite can be used on Linux to export filesystems to Windows clients; in this case, to the FTS Server.
- With the use of a Windows-based NFS client such as Microsoft Services for NFS, NFS can also be used to export filesystems to the FTS Server.
When deploying WorldServer and FTS in a mixed Linux/Windows environment using NFS, you must configure Windows Active Directory with Identity Management for Linux. By doing so, you can map Windows usernames to Linux usernames.
