17.1.5 Novell AFP
The Novell AFP service lets users on Macintosh workstations access and store files on OES 2
servers with NSS volumes without installing any additional software, such as the Novell Client (see
Figure 17-4 ).
Figure 17-4 How Novell AFP Works
Access Methods Authentication NetStorage Server Target Servers
Users have read and write
access to files from

Windows Explorer:
Enabled by the HTTP
protocol with WebDAV
extensions.

Browsers: Users can
access files directly by
connecting to the
NetStorage server.

PDAs: PDA users with
network connections
can access their files as
well.
Access is granted through
login script drive mapping
(NCP server required) or
through Storage Location
Objects.
File service access is
controlled by LDAP-
based authentication
through the eDirectory
LDAP server.
Although shown
separately, eDirectory
could be running on
the OES 2 server.
The NetStorage
server receives and
processes
connection requests
and provides access
to storage on various
servers on the
network. NetStorage on Linux can
connect eDirectory users
to their files and folders
stored in the following
locations:

Windows workgroup
shares (CIFS or
Samba shares)

Linux POSIX
volumes through an
SSH connection.
Linux volumes can also
be made available as
NCP volumes.
Management of NSS
volumes on OES 2
through NetStorage
requires SSH access to
the server. See
“When Is
SSH Access Required?”
on page 92
