eDirectory 8.8.8.11 SMB

Hi

I have eDirectory 8.8.8.11 in Linux. 

I need to connect from other server (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5 64 bits) through SMB protocol in order to recursively list folders and files of eDirectory.

I could not find any driver for it. 

Can you help?

    Do you want to access the filesystem with the DIB files? You could spawn a Samba share, but just thinking about this makes me shiver. It's unsafe and will cause all sort of corruption and locking ssues, at least unless the daemon is stopped.

    What are you trying to accomplish at all?

    Hi Mathias,

    I have a Linux software based on Java plataform that runs on SEL12 that needs to analyse (extract and index content) every file hosted in a edirectory 8.8.8.11 server. The customer thought about create a SMB connection so I could do that

    Is this software aware of eDirectory or would it rather treat a DIB file like a piece of text? If the latter applies i'd strongly recommend to refrain from letting it access the database files. That would sooner or later (and rather sooner than later) lead to all sorts of trouble.

    No other process than eDirectory itself should touch the DIB files. The same exclusions that are there fore anti-virus scans on Linux should probably be applied for this use case: https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7019888
