Re: [ActiveDir] OT: Higher Education web access

[Paul Glenn]

I myself would be more than happy with this scenario.  However, when I discuss this with the VP he says we can't take away anything they have now.  So that means I have to find a way for them to access their files through some type of web interface (which maybe I can convience him WEBDAV is almost like what they have now) and also be able to publish their own web pages.

We use webdav and publish instructions for staff/students to just add their home folder as a "my network place" on their home computers. This works well - once you've connected it's just another location that appears in explorer or file dialogues.

 

If you're happy to continue with FTP access to the web folder then that's perfectly possible; I'm assuming you're scripting creation of users so it's just a case of adding an extra bit to create and permission a folder somewhere in the IIS folder for each user.

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Higher Education web access

Hello all,

Sorry for the OT, but I'm a bit at a loss on parts of the big move.  As I've said in the past, I'm in the process of moving our student population from eDirectory to Active Directory.  We've overcome several hurdles up to this point.  Our next big one is how to give access to our student's files via a web brower and also a way to host their own web pages.  Currently we accomplish this via IUAdmin and apache services.  IUAdmin is not ported to the Windows platform and Apache for Windows has a few drawbacks.  I was wondering if there are any higher education folks out there that wouldn't mind talking with me about their environment.  To help give a better idea of what we do, I offer three web pages:

Students can login to the following page and gain access to their files.
http://locker.uky.edu

The next link shows you some screenshots of what you would see if you logged in as bigtest.

Then off course we offer a way for them to publish their own webpages (the first link will show you where I get my signature):

Thanks for any help even if it's just a pointer to another listserv
Paul
