Protocols with which to associate the Oracle Files-specific password were selected during Oracle Files configuration. To provide more security, you should create an Oracle Files-specific password (rather than the default Oracle Internet Directory password) to authenticate users of these protocol servers. Some protocols, including AFP and FTP, send unencrypted passwords over the network, which means that if one of these passwords is intercepted, it could provide access to all systems controlled by Oracle Internet Directory for that user. If a document is versioned, this would result in the loss of previous versions. Some applications, including Microsoft Office applications, save files by first saving the data to a temporary file, deleting the original file, and then renaming the temporary file to the original name. The NFS, NTFS, and SMB protocols have the following limitation: versioned documents cannot be deleted, moved, or renamed. For example, Mac users can connect from the Chooser to Oracle Files as if it were any other AppleShare server, Windows users can map a network drive or connect using Web Folders, and UNIX clients can connect using NFS. Users can connect to Oracle Files using protocols appropriate to their platform. When Oracle Files is running on a Windows server, it uses NTFS rather than SMB. SMB is only supported when Oracle Files is running on a UNIX or Linux server. SMB, the low-level server message block file-sharing protocol, lets you map Oracle Files as a network drive or browse to it via the Network Neighborhood.NTFS, the NT File System (for Windows NT and Windows 2000), allows you to map a local drive to the Oracle Files repository on the server machine.NFS, the Network File System, is a mechanism for mounting remote file systems on UNIX platforms.Currently, the most widespread WebDAV client is the Web Folders extension to Windows Explorer, also known as Network Places in Windows 2000/XP. HTTP has been extended with WebDAV, a protocol designed for Internet collaboration. HTTP, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, is used for Web browser-based access.FTP, the File Transfer Protocol, is used for file transfers across the Internet.MacOS 9.x and above supports AFP over TCP, which allows AFP services to be made available over the Internet and networks that use TCP/IP as the underlying transport. AFP, the AppleTalk Filing Protocol, enables Macintosh users to use Oracle Files as if it were an AppleShare server.Oracle Files supports a wide range of protocols through its various protocol server implementations, including the following: This chapter discusses the protocol servers supported by Oracle Files, along with the client access paths and software for the supported protocols.
