A UNIX like operating system needs a CIFS client to use a share. CIFS clients are part of Samba implementation for Linux and other UNIX like operating systems (http://www.samba.org) <br><br>
'''Attention:''' Posix style file commands (for instance chmod) must not be applied on files on a CIFS share. This may revoke sharing and Access Lists (ACLs), steering the access to the files.
<br><br>
'''Example:'''
To list the files in a SMB share, use the program smbclient.
<pre>
smbclient -L bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu -U 'bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu\ka_xy1234'
Enter bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu\ka_xy1234's password:
</pre>


'''Important:'''
The program allows You to access the files with a FTP like tool in an interactive shell.
That means you have to use the VPN Service of your HomeOrganization, if you want to access SDS@hd from outside the bwHPC-Clusters (e.g. via [[https://www.eduroam.org/where/ edoroam]])
<pre>
>smbclient //bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu/ka -U 'bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu\ka_xy1234'

Enter bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu\ka_xy1234's password:

<h2>Mount a Share</H2>

A share can be mounted to a local directory, (e.g. /mnt/cifs ).
You do need root rights on the local system.

<h3>Mount over command line</h3>

'''Example:'''

<pre>
>mkdir /mnt/cifs
>mount -t cifs -o username='bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu\ka_xy1234' //bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu/ka /mnt/cifs
Password:

or

>mount.cifs -o mount.cifs -o username='ka_xy1234',workgroup=bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu //bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu/ka /mnt/cifs
Password:

or

>mount -t cifs -o username=ka_xy1234,workgroup=bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu -o UID=xxxx,GID=yyyy //bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu/ka/ka_groupname /mnt/cifs
Password:

>df | grep cifs
//bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu/ka
291441213440 204573500416 86867713024 71% /mnt/cifs
>cd /mnt/cifs/ka_groupname/ka_xy1234
>ls
</pre>
Verify the success of the mount invoking the mount command without any arguments:
<pre>
mount | grep cifs
//bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu/ka on /mnt/cifs type cifs (rw)
</pre>

<h3>Mount over /etc/fstab</h3>

'''Example:'''

<pre>
>mkdir /mnt/mountpoint
/etc/fstab
//bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu/ka/ka_groupname/ka_xy1234 /mnt/mountpoint cifs uid= xxxx,gid= yyyy,credentials=/path_to_user_HOME/credentialsfile,auto 0 0
# ka (for example) : prefix
# ka_xy1234 : bwfilestorage user
# xxxx/yyyy : user uid/gid

>cat /path_to_user_HOME/credentialsfile
username=ka_ xy1234
password=*****
domain=bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu

>mount /mnt/mountpoint
</pre>
Verify the success of the mount invoking the mount command without any arguments:
<pre>
mount | grep cifs
//bwfilestorage.lsdf.kit.edu/ka/ka_groupname/ka_xy1234 on /mnt/mountpoint type cifs (rw)

Using SMB/CIFS for Windows client

Attention: To access data served by SDS@hd via CIFS, You need a Service Password. Please set your Service Password under following site: https://bwservices.uni-heidelberg.de.

Additionally the access to SDS@hd is currently only available inside the belwue-Network.

Important: That means you have to use the VPN Service of your HomeOrganization, if you want to access SDS@hd from outside the bwHPC-Clusters (e.g. via [edoroam])


You can use a CIFS share from a Microsoft operating system.

Adopting Universal Naming Convention (UNC) syntax

Use Windows Explorer entering the path to the share in UNC syntax:

Examples:

\\lsdf02.urz.uni-heidelberg.de 
or
\\lsdf02.urz.uni-heidelberg.de\<sv-acronym>

Following the input of the UNC path, a window will pop up:
Loginname: BWSERVICESAD\hd_xy123
Password: Service Password

Following authentication a new window pops up, showing the content of the share. You can now manipulate your files as accustomed. Sds-hd-smb-auth.png

Creation of a network (pseudo) drive with Windows Explorer

To connect to a network share in Windows Explorer select the control field
Select a drive letter to be associated with the network share and enter the network path (e.g. \\lsdf02.urz.uni-heidelberg.de). Select ‘use a different identification‘, as these differ from your credential used locally.

Path: \\lsdf02.urz.uni-heidelberg.de\<sv-acronym>
Username: BWSERVICESAD\hd_xy123
Password: Service Password
