This topic demonstrates how to create shared folders in EmpowerID.

Prerequisites

  • EmpowerID must first be connected to Active Directory. For details, see Connecting to Active Directory.

  • After EmpowerID is connected to Active Directory, a Windows File Server within that directory must be added to EmpowerID as a managed resource system. For details, see Adding Windows File Servers.

Create shared folders

  1. On the navbar, expand Object Administration and click Shared folders.

  2. On the Shared Folders page, select the Actions tab and then click Create Shared Folders.

     

  3. In the Select Computer lookup that appears, search for the File server you registered with EmpowerID, click the record for that server to select it and then click Submit.

     

  4. Enter the appropriate information in the Create File Share form and then click Submit.

     

Verify the shared folder on the file server

  1. On your File server, navigate to the local path you specified for the shared folder when you created it.

  2. You should see the home folder you just created.
