6.3 HP StoreAll Storage File System User Guide (TA768-96093, June 2013)

• Set the Anonymous field to false only if you want to restrict access to specific users. The
Anonymous field must be set to false when an HTTP-StoreAll REST API share in object
mode is to be created.
• Browseable: Keep in mind the following:
Standard and file compatible mode API shares:◦
– If Browseable is set to true, the user can issue HTTP GET requests for any directory
path within the share's directory tree, and that directory's listing of files and
subdirectories will be returned in the HTTP response. An error will be returned
if the user issuing the HTTP request does not have file system permission to
navigate down the path to that directory and read its contents.
– If Browseable is set to false, a GET request for a directory path will always return
an error, regardless of user’s permissions.
◦ Object mode API shares: This setting has no effect.
10. On the Users page, specify the users to be given access to the share. If no users are specified
on this page, then any user who can be authenticated according to your StoreAll authentication
settings for the cluster can access the share as read-write. Users must also have access
permissions at the file system level to read or write. If any users are specified on this page,
only those users may access the share and all other users are denied regardless of their file
system permissions.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that all users who are given read or write access to shares have sufficient
access permissions at the file system level for the directories exposed as shares.
