Settings to control accessing direct attached share

In Centrestack, admin can attach share on local area network server as team folder and enable "Always access the storage using the logged in user's identity". When AD user accesses the team folder, Centrestack will follow the NTFS permission on the file server share. 

Sometimes checking the share NTFS permission may hit issue. For example, network latency may cause the NTFS permissions to not be delivered in time and a user may be denied access to a file/folder that he/she should have access to.

There are settings admin can use to allow user to access the share in the case.

1. ReadNTFSPerm

• On your Centrestack server, edit the file "Centrestack installation folder\root\web.config" (by default, it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Gladinet Cloud Enterprise\root\web.config). Make a backup of the file before editing it.
• Add the following line in appSettings section:
  <add key="ReadNTFSPerm" value="false" />
  
  The line should be added after line
    <appSettings file="branding.config">
  and before
    </appSettings>
  
  Save the change.
• Open IIS Manager, go to Application pools and recycle the application pools:
  namespace
  
  

When set ReadNTFSPerm to false, Centrestack will not prevent user from accessing the folder when it doesn't get read permission from file system. In the scenario where the NTFS permission is not returned correctly, user can still access the folder.

2. CheckFolderPerm

• On your Centrestack server, edit the file "Centrestack installation folder\root\web.config" (by default, it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Gladinet Cloud Enterprise\root\web.config). Make a backup of the file before editing it.
• Add the following line in appSettings section:
  <add key="CheckFolderPerm" value="false" />
  
  The line should be added after line
    <appSettings file="branding.config">
  and before
    </appSettings>
  
  Save the change.
• Open IIS Manager, go to Application pools and recycle the application pools:
  namespace
  
  

When set CheckFolderPerm to false, Centrestack will not check the folder NTFS permission when access it. However, when copy/update file, the local file permission will still apply.
