Environment

Novell Filr 1.2
Novell Filr 2.0

Situation

For Windows Active Directory provisioned users and Net Folders: Users are able to see the files in the Net Folders but any attempt to add, modify or delete files/folders fails. This was observed where backend filesystem was located on a NAS (such as Hitachi HNAS 4100).

Resolution

A fix for this issue is available in the Filr 1.2 Hot Patch 5 / Filr 2.0 Hot Patch 1, available via the Novell Patch Finder.

Cause

Username to SID translation was not being done correctly which was leading up to this problem.
