Persistent Storage
This serves as a constant space for storing data used by devices. BSNEE can place
data on either the local machine server or in a networked shared folder (NAS) within
your corporate domain.
Note: BSNEE does not support shared folders with separate workgroups.
Both locations should have high security standards. In order to use the networked
shared folder with BSNEE, you must enable Persistent Storage folder sharing (SMB),
expose this folder via HTTP, and make it available via a resolvable URL. If the
Persistent Storage is located on the same server, you can create another web site in IIS
that points to the physical location of the Persistent Storage folder (described in
the
section). You will also need to add the corresponding record to your
DNS server.
Temporary Storage
This storage is used for uploading large files. You should allocate no less than 5 GB for
the temporary storage folder and locate the folder on the same server where BSNEE
services will be installed.
If you want to configure BSNEE to use persistent storage located on the networked shared
folder (NAS), complete the following steps before installing BSNEE:
1. Configure network sharing for BSNEE persistent storage so that it is accessible for
BSNEE services.
2. Configure HTTP access for BSNEE persistent storage.
Note: To learn more about configuring network sharing and HTTP access to your persistent
storage folders, please refer to your server/NAS documentation.
Your networked shared folder should have the following permissions (this example uses
Windows Server 2008 R2 as the NAS):
Security Permissions at the File System Level
•
DOMAIN\INSTALLATION_USER (Full Access): “DOMAIN” refers to a domain
that the current server is a member of, and “INSTALLATION_USER” refers to the
domain user that you use to install the BSNEE services server.
•
DOMAIN\BSNEE_SERVER
(Full Access): This is required for accessing the
BSNEE services for file sharing.
