Multiple File Server with the Implemented Mechanism ACL

Abstract

Presented – implemented and made available to users in the PIAP – a multi-access file server, whose functionality is achieved by implementing Access Control List ACL in the operating system Linux OS. Discusses the methodology for configuring the server constituting condition for achieving this objective. Analyzed the server implementation which allows the use of the ACL. The implementation of this mechanism was preceded by modifying a standard file system on the server to the version that supports Extended Attributes EA. In the Linux server has been implemented Samba server in which are located defined resources. Discussed the process of setting up a Samba server. To manage the obtained functionality has been developed and presented a method to allocate permissions for individual users to specific resources and proposed solutions for managing access ACL. Discussed the resource size constraints on the disk based on the properties usrquota and grpquota of the file system.
