Xerox Multifunction Devices Customer Tips dc02cc306 … for the user June 10, 2003 Configuring a NetWare Server for Scanning via FTP Over IP Purpose This document describes how to set up the Novell file system and FTP services for scan to file on a NetWare server 5.1 or 6.x. It does not walk users through configuring the NetWare server with CentreWare Scanning Services. For information on how to use the CentreWare Scanning software, use the CentreWare Network Scanning Services Admin Guide located on the CentreWare scan software installation CD. Xerox devices and CentreWare support the following protocols for scan to file: FTP over IP NCP over IPX Because these devices do not support NCP over IP, you must either use NCP over IPX or FTP over IP to enable scan-to-file in a Novell environment. Note: The DC 555/545/535 and the WorkCentre Pro devices also support scanning via SMB over IP. This filing protocol is also supported starting with CentreWare 5.5 Network Scanning Services. However, there are no plans to add support for the SMB over IP filing to devices prior to the DC 555/545/535. Installation Requirements This document applies Before installing NetWare FTP Services, the systems administrator should have the to these Xerox following items ready: products: The Novell NetWare Operating System CD loaded in the server’s CD-ROM drive. x WC Color 32/40 The CD-ROM mounted as a volume. To do so, enter the command ‘CDROM’ at the x WC Pro 65/75/90 server’s console prompt. x WC Pro 35/45/55 A minimum of 200mb free storage to install NetWare FTP Services. WC Basic 35/45/55 Access to the Novell Service Pack currently installed. x DC 555/545/535 x DC 490/480/470/460 x DC 440/432/425/420 x DC 340/332 x DC 265/255/240 x DC 230/220 DCCS 50 dc02cc0306 Customer Service Page 1 How This Document is Organized This document is organized as follows: Setting up the Novell File System ¾Installing the NFS Name Space ¾Setting Up the Scan Repository Folder ¾Configuring the Scan User Account ¾Sharing the Scan Repository Folder ¾Mapping a Network Drive Installing NetWare FTP Services Configuring NetWare FTP Services Testing FTP Services Re-Enabling FTP Security Setting up the Novell File System For scanning services using IP to operate properly with all Document Center and WorkCentre Pro products, the NetWare volume where you create your scan folder repository requires the installation of NetWare's Network File System (NFS) name space. The NFS and NSS protocols support the Unix permissions that our Document Centre devices use. Note: Due to less complex implementation, we recommend NFS rather than NSS. Installing the NFS Name Space 1. At either RCONJ or the server’s console prompt, type volumes and press Enter. You see the Mounted Volumes Name Spaces list. Proceed with one of the following: If the list already contains an NFS or NSS volume, skip the rest of this section and go to the section “Setting up the Scan Folder.” If NFS is not in the list, continue with this procedure. dc02cc0306 Page 2 Customer Service 2. Enter the LOAD NFS command to run the service that provides NFS support. 3. Use the following command to add the NFS support to the scanning volume: add name space nfs to volume xxxx, where xxxx is the scanning volume name. Wait to receive the message: NFS name space support successfully added to volume xxxx. dc02cc0306 Customer Service Page 3 4. Enter volumes again; to verify that the NFS name space is installed on the scanning volume. You should see NFS under that Mounted Volumes Name Spaces list. If not, repeat this process. 5. Set up the NFS service to run automatically on server startup. At the console prompt, run NWCONFIG. Select NCF files Options from the list and press Enter. 6. Select the Edit STARTUP.NCF file option and press Enter. dc02cc0306 Page 4 Customer Service 7. Accept the default server boot path unless the DOS portion of the OS was installed to a non-default directory. If that is the case, enter that boot path. Press Enter. 8. Add the line LOAD NFS to the end of the file and then press the F10 key to save the changes. When you are prompted to save the file, select [Yes] and press Enter. You are returned to the NWCONFIG screen. 9. Press Esc until prompted to exit NWCONFIG. Select Yes and press Enter. The NFS name space support is now properly installed. Setting Up the Scan Repository Folder Before you configure the FTP service, set up a directory as the FTPROOT in which to create your scan repository folder. 1. Open Windows Explorer, and browse to the Novell server and the volume where you wish to create the scan repository folder. dc02cc0306 Customer Service Page 5 2. Create a directory to use as the scan repository (example scanning). Configuring the Scan User Account Create the scan user account for scan to file. Choose any name for the user account (example: scanner). Generally, you locate a user account in the same context as the volume where the scan repository folder is located. If it is not, you must add an option to the FTP service so that it can access the context where the user is located and allow the user to log in. See the section on “Manually Configuring NetWare FTP Services” for instructions about how to add a search list. 1. Run NWADMN32. Change to the context where the scanning volume resides. Check to see if the scanner account is located in the same volume. dc02cc0306 Page 6 Customer Service 2. If the scanner user is not in the object list in this context, right-click the context and click [Create]. Select User and click [OK]. 3. Enter the login name (example: scanner) and a last name (example: scanuser). Check Define additional properties. Click [Create]. dc02cc0306 Customer Service Page 7 4. Click [Password Restrictions] and remove the check to Allow user to change password, and check Require a password. Then click Change Password. 5. If you wish, you can make the password the same as the user name. This makes it easier for troubleshooting purposes, but less secure. Enter a New password and retype it. Click [OK]. dc02cc0306 Page 8 Customer Service 6. Click [Environment]. Then click on the browse icon next to the Home Directory boxes to change the Home Directory of this scan user. 7. Browse the NetWare contexts to the volume containing the scan repository folder and select that folder (example: scanning). Click [OK]. dc02cc0306 Customer Service Page 9 8. Verify the volume, context and path are correct. Then click [Rights To Files and Directories] to give the user further explicit rights to the scan repository folder. 9. Give the user rights to the directory created for the scan repository. Click [Show] to gain access to the volumes and directories. dc02cc0306 Page 10 Customer Service 10. Select the volume where the scan repository folder resides and click [OK]. 11. Click [Add] next to Files and Directories. dc02cc0306 Customer Service Page 11 12. Select the scan repository folder on this volume. Click [OK]. 13. Enable all rights for the user with the exception of Supervisor and Access Control. Click [OK]. dc02cc0306 Page 12 Customer Service Sharing the Scan Repository Folder Next, share the scan repository folder. In Novell, this type of share is called a directory map. 1. Run NWAdmin and change to the context where the scanning volume is located. Right-click the volume and select [Create]. Select Directory Map from the list of new objects. Click [OK]. 2. Enter the directory map name, which should be the same name as the scan repository folder (example: scanning). Click the browse icon, browse to the scan volume and select the scan repository folder. Click [OK]. The Volume and Path fields are populated with the correct information. Click [Create]. dc02cc0306 Customer Service Page 13 The following graphic shows the directory map object listed in the current context. Mapping a Network Drive Note: You must follow the procedure in this section if you plan to use CentreWare Network Scanning Services to configure your scan server. If you plan to set up scanning via CentreWare Internet Services (the Document Centre’s embedded Web server), skip to the next section “Installing NetWare FTP Services.” With Windows NT/2000/XP clients, drives do not map to proper Novell distinguished names (as with Windows 98). The following procedures address Windows NT/2000/XP and Windows 98 workstations separately. Open NWAdmin, and double-click the scanning directory map icon to view the details of the object. Write down the Name exactly as you see it on the screen (example: scanning.Novell51.Xerox). This is the distinguished name of the directory map object. You only need this name if you are not using a Windows 98 workstation to administer scanning. Close the details window. dc02cc0306 Page 14 Customer Service Mapping a Drive with Windows 98 1. Open Network Neighborhood and browse through Entire Network, to Novell Directory Services, then to the context where the scanning folder resides. 2. Right-click the scan repository folder and select Novell Map Network Drive. Check the options: Check to make folder appear as top most level and Check to always map this drive letter when you start Windows. Click Map. Click Close. Skip to the section, “Installing NetWare FTP Services.” Mapping a Drive with Windows NT / 2000 / XP 1. Open Network Neighborhood and browse through Entire Network to Novell Directory Services then to the context where the scanning folder resides.
