File Rewriting Configuration Guide
File Rewriting
A file resource profile controls access to resources on Windows server shares.
File rewriting is a standard feature on all Connect Secure devices.
When creating a file resource profile, you must use the following formats when defining a resource policy's primary resource as well as its autopolicy resources.
Windows resources:
\\server[\share[\path]]Within these formats, the three components are:
- Server (required) - Possible values:
- Hostname - You may use the system variable <username> when defining the hostname.
- IP address - The IP address needs to be in the format: a.b.c.d
The leading two back slashes are required for Windows, non-Nfs resources.
- Share (required, Windows only) - The system variable <username> is allowed. Note that when the system tries to connect to a Windows file share, it connects to ports 445 and 139.
- Path (optional) - Special characters allowed include:
* | Matches any character. Note that you cannot use the * wildcard character when defining a resource profile's primary resource (that is, the Server/share field for Windows resources). |
|---|---|
% | Matches any character except slash (/) |
? | Matches exactly one character |
Valid Windows resources include:
\\pulsesecure.net\dana
\\10.11.0.10\share\web
\\10.11.254.227\public\test.doc
