Using Netshare
• Accessing the Web Publisher Home Page
Setting Up the Server and Creating
Netshare Home Directories
As the server administrator, you need to configure Netshare for your server and
for your server’s users before they can use Netshare. Once you have set up
Netshare, you need to create a Netshare home directory for any user or group
who wants to use Netshare. Netshare provides two types of interface for server
administrators: Enterprise Server user interface (Set Up Netshare and Create
Netshare) and a Netshare command-line utility.
Before You Start
Before you set up Netshare for your users, you need to be sure that the Web
Publishing functions are turned on for your server, that you understand how
Netshare’s default naming conventions operate, what the configuration file
contains, and what it means to mark a user as licensed.
Server Features That Must Be Enabled
In order to use the functions of Netshare fully, including Web Publisher and
search, each of these functions must be turned on for your server. By default,
they are all enabled, but you may wish to verify their state.
To turn on the Web Publisher, use The Web Publishing State Page in the
Enterprise Server user interface.
To check the state of Web Publisher, use The Search State Page in the
Enterprise Server user interface.
Note
If Search is turned on before Web Publishing then the default collection is not
created until after a force index is performed. This happens only if Web
Publishing is enabled after Search. The reason that the Web Publishing
collection does not show up in search is that at the time the search init is run,
the
web_htm
collection has not been created. If you restart the server, then it
will show up correctly.
