tfo client 5.5.2 Configuration Wizard

I'm looking for a little more detail than the Front Office (Solaris) Admin manual (tfo.552.admin.pdf) provides-

when Configuring the client through the TFO Configuration Wizard, what rules apply?

we're receiving the following message:
"Could not connect to TeamSite Server" Verify the following:
1. TeamSite servername and Port Number are specified correctly
2. TeamSite Server is running"

we use the same settings as is used to login into the TeamSite server in browser URL, and the port setting is the default 80, SSL option is not connected

since you're effectively logging into TeamSite, I'm assuming that the username/password must match your TeamSite username/password-

but must it match your workstation (and/or network) username/password as well? (it doesn't) - we're leaving the domain value blanks since Teamsite is running on Solaris-

should <servername> value be fully qualified or just machine name (tried both to no avail)?

should the sample entries in iwwa.cfg be removed for any reason?

our iwwa.cfg looks like following (yes, ran iwreset)
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>


<workareaMap>


<workgroup>
<workarea alias="UniqueAlias1" >
\\TeamSite server name\store\branch\WORKAREA\workarea_name1
</workarea>
<workarea alias="UniqueAlias2" >
\\TeamSite server name\default\main\WORKAREA\workarea_name2
</workarea>

<members>
<userid name="usernameA"/>
<userid name="usernameB"/>
<userid name="usernameC"/>
</members>
</workgroup>


<user name="username">
<workarea alias="UniqueAliasA" >
\\TeamSite server\store\branch\WORKAREA\workarea_nameA
</workarea>
<workarea alias="UniqueAliasB" >
\\TeamSite server\store\branch\WORKAREA\workarea_nameB
</workarea>
</user>

<user name="gsumers">
<workarea alias="msteck2" >
\\atlteam.utah.gov\default\main\HumanServices\ChildFamilyServices\WORKAREA\msteck
</workarea>
</user>

<user name="msteck">
<workarea alias="msteck" >
\\atlteam.utah.gov\default\main\HumanServices\ChildFamilyServices\WORKAREA\msteck
</workarea>
</user>

<user name="testusr1">
<workarea alias="msteck1" >
\\atlteam.utah.gov\default\main\HumanServices\ChildFamilyServices\WORKAREA\msteck
</workarea>
</user>

</workareaMap>

and iw.cfg sections looks like this:

[FrontOffice]
auto_index=no
index_template_name=index_template.htx
wf_submit=no
metadata_capture=no

and have all user values in iwwa.cfg entered in both the author.uid and editor.uid files (yes, ran iwreset)

You're exactly right for using the solaris userid and login password. Since the new TFO is not using a samba mapped drive or anything, it is a small client that directly communicate with TeamSite TFO server through web services using SOAP http(s) communication.

The server name can be anything as ip address, short server name or full dns name as long as you can ping the address from the workstation.

All the comments/examples inside the iwwa.cfg file can be removed, A good practice will be comment out all of the original one and just keep them there for sample purpose.

Make sure users are in both author and editor uid files and once all these are done. run iwreset -ui if at all possible. (This should work most of the cases.)

If this does not solve your issue, restart iw.server at a possible time and that should solve all the issues you have.

Good luck

i keep getting erros to connect to frontoffice from briefcase. its not clear to me if i should use solaris user and login or teamsite login. I should say our authentication on teamsite is fully integrated with ldap, so a user who can authenticate on solaris does not necessarily logs in teamsite unless it has a teamsite role associated on ldap and userid.

my iwwa file is configured and ive used iwserver -ui..
is there anything else missing?

or any ideas why i keep getting not connecting errorS?
verify:
- teamsite servername and port
- teamsite server is running

thanks ..

I'm running Solaris 2.8 to host my TS5.5.2/SP2 server with TFO. My users have windows login names like "c12345" but in LDAP they're configured to be users like "tvaughan"

When I set them up to connect to the TS server via TFO, I configure them so that they use the same login name that they use to connect to TeamSite (e.g. "tvaughan" and not c12345)

I don't have any Windows domains or anything like that (we use Novell), and in my configuration I have the full name of the server (like, "server.domain.com"), connecting over port 80 with the SSL checkbox off

Here's an example of part of my iwwa.cfg file:


    < workgroup>
            < workarea alias="Docs" >
                \\server.domain.com\default\main\admin\docs\WORKAREA\common
            < /workarea>

            < members>
                    < userid name="tvaughan"/>
                    < userid name="iwfmmgr"/>
            < /members>
    < /workgroup>

Works like a charm. (Note that I add a space between the '<' and the next character so it shows up here. . .the old < doesn't seem to work)

Hope that helps,

Greets,
Attempting to use a full dns name (alias: wcm.domain.com which is mapped to the IP address assigned to the TeamSite server) for the servername in TSFO which is throwing a Permission Denied error when dragging-n-dropping files into the selected workarea. Does setting the servername to an alias still work in TSFO 5.6.5? Has this been successfully tested?

Regards,

TS_ys

TeamSite 6.7.1 Windows
