Accessing SSRL from SLAC
OVERVIEW:
An SSRL group folder is available on a SLAC server.
When logging on with a SLAC Windows acco unt, the folder appears at:
V:\SSRL
Some SSRL groups have had their folders moved to this location.
Other group folders remain on an SSRL server.
To connect to the SSRL folder while logging on with a SLAC account -
Go to the corresponding folder under V:\SSRL
Double click on "Get Foldername.bat"
For example,
The script will connect to the SSRL server with your SSRL Windows account.
It will expect that your SSRL username is the same as your SLAC username.
If your SSRL password is different from your SLAC account, then you
will be prompted for a password.
If your accounts are spelled differently, you can map the folder manually.
MANUAL MAPPING:
From the Tools menu of Windows Explorer,
Select "Map Network Drive"
The "Map Network Drive" window will display.
In the "Drive" field,
Click the dropdown list arrow and Select a drive letter
In the "Folder" field,
Enter "\\ssrlhost1\foldername$"
(Note - Place a "$" after the foldername)
Check the box for "Reconnect at Logon"
Click on the link for "Connect using a different user name"
The "Connect As..." window will display.
In the "User name" field,
Enter your SSRL account as "SSRL\username"
In the "Password" field,
Enter your SSRL Windows password
Click OK
Click Finish
CAVEATS:
Windows will not allow multiple connections to the same server
with different accounts.
If you have an existing connection to SSRLHOST1 (a mapping to the Q: drive perhaps) that uses a SLAC account, then a new connection using an SSRL account may not be allo wed.
The previous mapping must first be disconnected.
To manually disconnect a drive mapping:
Right click on a drive to display the context
menu.
Select Disconnect.
