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
