Verify Access Control Lists on a Macintosh system

Verify the following before you begin:

  • Two domain users
  • A correctly configured K2 system
  • At least one Macintosh system attached

If you are using Access Control Lists on Macintosh OS X and the Windows operating system, use this task to verify.

  1. Test permissions on the K2 system as follows. For K2 SAN access, test permissions on the primary K2 Media Server FSM. For stand-alone K2 storage access, test permissions on the stand-alone K2 system.
    1. Create a new text file on the V: drive.
    2. Right-click on the text file and select Properties.
    3. Click the Permissions tab.
    4. Select Everyone and then for the Write permission select the Deny check box.
    5. Create a folder on the V: drive.
    6. Give full permissions to the first user (designated in this procedure as userA) on the domain.
    7. Give read only permissions to the second user (designated in this procedure as userB) on the domain.
  2. On the Macintosh system, do the following:
    1. Login as userA.
    2. Right-click on the text file and select Properties.
    3. Open up Terminal and change directory to the volume. If the SNFS file system is named "default" type the following and press Enter:
      cd /Volumes/default
      If the SNFS file system is named "gvfs_hostname" (where hostname is the name of the K2 system) type the following and press Enter:
      cd /Volumes/gvfs_hostname
    4. Type the following command:
      ls –le


    5. Verify that there is a "+" next the text file, plus a list of permissions below. If this is true then cross-platform ACLs are enabled.
    6. Open the Finder, go to the default volume and try to edit the text file. This should fail as the file should not be writeable.
    7. In the Finder, go to the folder you created earlier in this procedure and create a text file in the folder. This operation should be successful.
    8. Log out and then log back in as userB.
    9. In the Finder, go to the folder you created earlier in this procedure and try to create a text file in the folder. This operation should fail.
