Connector Overview

Connector Operation Principles

• File Access Manager Windows DFS application differs from other File Access Manager connectors in that it does not actively monitor activities, collect permissions, or classify data. Instead, it acts as a logical representation of multiple physical applications. It fetches data by mapping DFS logical shares to their corresponding physical target applications shares.

• The crawler service creates mapping between DFS applications and physical applications.

Windows DFS applications only supports domain-based DFS namespaces.

An application must be configured in File Access Manager for each DFS domain.
