How to scan a file share

To scan a files share the file share must be mounted on the DAMCS.  If the DAMCS is delivered as a service a VPN network must be established first. Please refer to VPN here:

 

Please provide Data & More with:

- IP or domain for the fileshare

- AD user with read / write permissions

- Make sure that the file share is visible from the toolbox

In general, please do not use @. Do not use  “da@ju” as a user - but rather “daju55”. Also when providing the users please specify any configuration they may need for access. eg.:


VPN login: client_domain\daju

Windows login: daju55

Exchange login: daju@client_domain.xxx


For password min 8 characters and do not use #, &, / 

 

AD user for the Data Compliance Server to access file shares

In order to access file shares, the Data Compliance Server needs a unique AD user that has R/W permissions to all the data that should be analysed by the Server. 

The password for the AD user should be static (not changed while we run our tool) 

Notice: One of the typical client-side errors we encounter during set-up, is AD users who do not have the rights to read the data the Compliance Server should scan.

When the Data Compliance Server can access the file share, then the file shares must be mounted directly as drives on the D&M Server using SSH.

Command needed to mount the file share on the Compliance server:

  • mount -t cifs -o username=username,password=password //server-name/sharename /mountpoint

The:  /var  directory should be min 500 GB on the Data Compliance Server according to the specs for the related set-up

 

Please notice that codes for mounting SAN may vary. Also, make sure that the toolbox has the rights to mount the relevant files-share.
