About managing home directories
You can use Access Appliance to store the home directories of CIFS users.
The home directory share name is identical to the Access Appliance user name. When Access Appliance receives a new CIFS connection request, it checks if the requested share is one of the ordinary exported shares. If it is not, Access Appliance checks if the requested share name is the name of an existing Access Appliance user (either local user or domain user, depending on the current mode of operation). If a match is found, it means that the received connection request is for a home directory share.
You can access your home directory share the same way you access the file system ordinary shares. A user can connect only to his or her own home directory.
Note:
The internal directories structure of home directory file systems is maintained by Access Appliance. It is recommended not to use a file system as a homedirfs that has been used by a normal share in the past or vice versa.
Note:
The CIFS> homedir commands are supported only from the Access Appliance command-line interface.
