Using Netshare
Netshare provides an Enterprise Server user with a personal home page from
which they can store, share, and manage their server documents. Netshare is a
convenient starting point for using the Netscape Enterprise Server user services:
Web Publisher and search. From their home page, users can also obtain
information about how they are defined in the server’s user directory, such as
their name, password, and telephone extension.
To access a user’s default Netshare home page, the user types in this URL:
http://ServerID/netshare/UserID
After authentication, the user’s default Netshare home page is displayed with a
set of links to many server functions:
When you create a Netshare home directory for a user, the user is assigned as
the owner of the directory and all its files. By default, only the owner can write
to the directory although other users can read the files. Others cannot make any
changes to the files unless the owner explicitly provides such access
permissions.
This section includes the following topics:
• Setting Up the Server and Creating Netshare Home Directories
• Before You Start
• Using the Server Manager
• Using the Netshare Command-line Utility
