Using file receiver adapter with a different user

[Former Member]

Hello.

I have a simple question (at least I think it is)

Can I use a file receiver adapter (where the transport protocol is NFS - not FTP)

so that a different user will access the directory (not the usual SAPServiceSID)?

I don't see any place for using username and password, and using the FTP protocol is not possible

because of security reasons.

Any help Appreciated.

HI,

Can I use a file receiver adapter (where the transport protocol is NFS - not FTP)

yes we can use Transport Protocal is NFS but remember that NFS means that it is referring to a file system on PI server.

Hello.

Thanks for the quick answers.

I'm sorry for not being clear enough before.

I have a microsoft network share on a different server then the PI.

When I use the path:
server\share

I manage to successfully put a file via the file receiver adapter, with NFS as the transport protocol.

However in order to do this, the owner of the share had to give credentials to the user: SAPServiceSID of my PI system

which is an active directory user.

The owner wants me to use a local user instead.

Can this be done with a local user?

Thanks for this link, it seems that I must use FTP.

However I don't understand why can't the PI identify as a different user technically.

is it a restriction of the NFS protocol? or is it a limitation of the PI server?

Hi,

What i understood from your Q ....Using NFS and FIle adapter u want to store the file in file server and it should be accessible for few users......if i am correct....then u have to write module and after placing the file in the server the module need to call to change the access credentials for the file.
