Storage Locations: New Storage Location

You can create a Storage Location object to display a specified name for a network directory in the NetStorage directory access list displayed through Microsoft* Web Folders or a Web browser.

Note: The NetStorage directory access list is the list of directories that a user can access through Microsoft Web Folders or a Web browser. These directories are the result of a Home directory assignment, directories specified by a login script, Novell® Folder® directory assignment, and Storage Location objects. The administrator must assign users at least Read and File Scan rights to these directories.

Object Name

The name of the Storage Location object in eDirectory. This name is used in the storage location list. Users do not see this name.

Display Name

The name that is displayed in the NetStorage directory access list. This is the shortcut name and it is seen by users.

If you use the same display name for two different Storage Objects, a digit is added to the names to make each name unique.

Directory Location

The location of the directory on the file system. The location is a URL that includes the file system type, server name, volume, and directory path. If the storage being accessed is on a NetWare server, the URL must be in the following format:

ncp://server_name/volume/path_to_directory

For example:
ncp://server1.digitalair.com/mktg/reports
ncp://111.222.3.4/mktg/reports

If the storage being accessed is on a Linux server, the URL must be in one of the following formats:

If the file system is omitted, it is assumed that it is NCP.

Comment

A comment entered by the administrator and is not displayed to users.

Context

The directory context that the Storage Location object resides in. Click the object selector to select the context.
