Adding a CIFS Application

In order to integrate with CIFS, we must first create an application entry in File Access Manager. This entry includes the identification, connection details, and other parameters necessary to create the link.

To add an application, use the New Application Wizard.

  1. Navigate to Admin > Applications.

  2. Select Add New to open the New Application Wizard.

  3. Select Standard Application for the wizard type.
