  • Windows based workstations are generally capable of selecting the various features offered by different printers by means of specific print dialogs for different printers, this capability has been disabled in multiserver 10 and a standard print dialog has been substituted. Windows users are still able to select any combination of features by selecting the appropriate entry from the printer list. This has been done for consistency between MAC and Windows workstations but is not necessary.
  • Virtual printers are added to unix configuration file /etc/printcap and Netatalk data file /usr/local/atalk/etc/papd.conf for each combination of features available on the selected physical printer.

  • Primary domain information section 302 also shows the IP address of the secondary name server. This field will show "N/A" unless the secondary name server is located on a computer other than multiserver 10. In that case, this field will show the IP address or URL of that computer.
  • Unix configuration file /etc/sysconfig/network is updated to reflect the primary domain name and the name of the multiserver computer.
  • VIRTU ALDOMAINNAME is created to contain the e-mail accounts and aliases for the virtual domain.
  • Data file /home/httpd/users .VIRTU ALDOMAINNAME is created to contain the names and encrypted passwords of guests of the private web site of the virtual domain.
  • BIND configuration file /etc/named.conf is updated.
  • Private access control area 356 allows the administrator to control authorized access by authorized FTP users (LAN users and virtual domain administrators) to the the file system of the multiserver computer. Each of these users has a specified portion of the file system multiserver 10 which they may access by FTP. In the case of LAN users, this specified area is the LAN user's home directory. In the case of virtual domain administrators, this specified area is the directory within the web-server file share volume in which the public and private web sites of the virtual domain are stored.
  • Authorized access is access which requires the user to provide a password in order to access a designated part of the file system of the multiserver computer.
  • Authorized access may be granted on two levels: “no access” prevents these users from accessing their specified portions of the file system; and “read & write” access allows authorized users to read, download from and write to the specified portions of the FTP server.
  • the administrator may configure multiserver 10 for no authorized FTP access by selecting no access control 358. The following steps are taken to configure no authorized FTP access:
  • the FTP Authorized Section setting in data file /root/MSconfig/dat/screens.dat is updated.
  • WU-FTPD configuration file /etc/ftpaccess is configured to deny all access to authorized FTP users.
  • a new record is created for the guest in data file /root/MSconfig/vDomains/VIRTUALDOMAIN.guests, where VIRTUALDOMAIN represents the name of a virtual or sub-domain.
  • the guest is added to the Apache guest registry for the private web site of the virtual domain using an htautopasswd script.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un multiserveur pouvant fournir des services de partage de fichiers, des services d'impression, des services de télécopie et des services d'hébergement de contenu sur Internet. Ces différents services sont fournis au moyen de progiciels accessibles au public, dont la configuration est intégrée par une interface unifiée de gestion de la configuration. Cette interface de gestion de la configuration configure automatiquement les progiciels sous-jacents en réponse à une information entrée par un administrateur. Les progiciels sous-jacents peuvent être changés sans que la présentation de l'interface de gestion de la configuration en soit modifiée, ce qui permet à l'administrateur de faire évoluer le système sans devoir apprendre à configurer les nouveaux progiciels.
