Virtual CD Server - StorPoint

Security and User Access

The Discs & Drives section is used to configure security for the Virtual CD Server 8i.

The Discs and File System view displays a directory tree structure. Network share access control can be managed from this view. Access rights to the network share, or the volume, can be modified on this page. In addition, the Eject, Description, and Archive functions for the volume can be modified on this page.

The Drives selection displays each physical CD-ROM drive bay. The drive number is assigned using the SCSI bus number, and the SCSI ID number. Devices on the first bus begin with the letter A. Devices on the second bus begin with the letter B. Access rights to both physical drive bays and the volume (CD-ROM) inserted into the drive can be modified on this page. In addition, Eject, Description, Auto-Archive, Sorting, and Lock functions can be modified on this page.

When access rights are assigned to a drive, any CD-ROM volume inserted into the drive bay will inherit those rights. In addition, the CD-ROM will be shared on the network using the drive bay name, not the volume name of the CD-ROM.

Disc and Files System
Rights under the Disc and File System view are assigned to volumes only. A volume is the data on a CD-ROM. It is not the drive bay that holds/reads the CD-ROM.

General
The Name and Description of the volume, as it appears on the network, can be modified on this page. If, for licensing purposes the number of user allowed access to the volume must be limited, the maximum number of users may be entered here.

Web Security
Access rights to a volume may be inherited from the parent folder, or restricted by use of a password. By default all CD volumes are available on the main page of the Virtual CD Server 8i. To prevent this modify the HTTP network configuration

Drives
Rights under the Drives view are assigned to devices or the disc inserted into the device. When access rights are assigned to a drive, any CD-ROMs inserted into the drive bay inherit those rights. In addition, the CD-ROM will be shared on the network using the drive bay name, not the volume name of the CD-ROM.

Rights to volumes (CD-ROMs) can also be assigned using the Drives view. A radio button at the top of the Access Rights page permits the Disc (volume) or the Drive to be selected. The information below relates only to the Drive options.

General
