Chapter 16. Information Bays (i-bays)

Information bays, or i-bays, are a unique feature built into your SME Server V5 with ServiceLink. i-bays are a powerful, simple, ﬂexible mechanism

for creating distinct information-sharing sites. The network administrator can deﬁne several characteristics for each new i-bay they create:

• write access: the administrator can control access to the i-bay by associating the i-bay with a group. All groups previously created in the groups

section of the server manager will appear in the drop-down menu under "group" in this section. In addition, two default groups will always appear

- "administrator" and "everyone" (meaning all users, whether on the local network or on the Internet).

• user access via ﬁle-sharing or FTP: The administrator can also control who has the ability to save a ﬁle into or modify the contents of the ﬁles

in the i-bay (write access) and who has the ability to view the contents of the i-bay (read access). The administrator can specify whether the entire

group can write to the i-bay or whether the administrator alone has the power to save ﬁles to the i-bay. Similarly, the administrator can control

whether group members only can read the contents of the i-bay or whether the contents can be read by anyone.

• password protection: the administrator can specify whether a password is required to access an i-bay from the Internet and what that password

will be.

Note: If you select Password Required, users who connect to the i-bay via FTP or HTTP will be prompted to supply that particular i-bay’s

username and password. The user name is always the name of the i-bay and the password is whatever the administrator assigns to that i-bay - not

the individual user’s password. Note that, as with user accounts, i-bay accounts are locked out by default. If a password is required, users will not

be able to access the i-bay until the administrator sets the password.

i-bays are simple to create and manage. The "Information bays" section of the server manager shows all current i-bays, the name of each i-bay and a

description of its contents. In this section, you can delete an i-bay (which will delete all contents of the i-bay directory) and, if the i-bay requires a

password, you can set it here. As with your user account directory, any i-bay that requires a password will appear in red until that password has been

changed from "default" (the i-bay for Samson’s Farms in the following image is an example of this).

A note about i-bay names: When you create an i-bay, the name may be up to 12 characters long

and may contain only lower-case letters,

numbers, periods and underscores. The i-bay name should also start with a lower-case letter. For example, johnson, sales and client3.prj8

are all valid names, while 3associates, John Smith and Bus-Partner are not. Finally, an i-bay cannot use the same name as an existing

user or group account. It must be unique. Note that there are two special names, primary and public, which are in use by the system and cannot

be used for an i-bay name.

16.1. i-bay Directories

Each i-bay has three directories - html, files and cgi-bin. Each directory is brieﬂy outlined below:

• cgi-bin: This directory is set aside to hold "CGI scripts" used for that i-bay’s web pages. CGI scripts are tools used in advanced web site creation

and are not discussed here.

• ﬁles: This directory holds ﬁles that can be accessed either locally only or publicly. It can be used for such things as a company download site, a

company-wide ﬁle sharing server, or a document sharing site for a speciﬁc customer. When someone connects to the i-bay using FTP, they will see

the ﬁles in this directory.

1. This 12-character restriction ensures that the i-bay can be shared correctly to all Windows machines.
