We seem to share the same problems...they haven't gone and knocked me down...yet, but I expect they might fairly soon. For now, I'm placing the shares under an IIS umbrella: I direct the crawl to the root of the web and serve http links to the files. IIS (somehow) takes care of A/D authorization: once the user clicks on a link, IIS checks the users credentials and matches it to the files ACL (I suppose). The downsides? Even though I could theoretically allow the users with sufficient privileges to write files, I can only provide WebDAV access. Whats more, I'm stuck with IIS/Windows/whatever. I'd much rather let the customer decide what he wants to run on his servers. Finally, distributed network shares (i.e. shares not shared from the server) make the problem/solution significantly more complicated. Alternatively, you could try with the file protocol, generating "browser unfriendly" file:// links, opens up it's own Pandora's box of security issues...so, how do you go about it? t.n.a. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
