EFT Server v6.4.5 integrates the Secure Mobile Access™ (SMA) module using Event Rules. SMA will automate the provisioning and sharing of user’s home folders using TappIn™ by Globalscape® allowing authorized remote users to author, read, edit, and share their files that are stored on EFT Server.
Event Rules and COM API functions have been added or modified to accommodate SMA. EFT Server's Event Rule system performs updates to TappIn's access permissions based on various events in the system. The Event Rules are used to run a custom command that executes an SMA script. This executable contacts the TappIn servers to perform the appropriate configuration changes.
Some details to consider regarding SMA:
A Tappin Agent should be installed on the same computer as EFT Server. (You can install Tappin Agents on multiple computers. Refer to the Tappin documentation for details.)
The TappIn Agent must be configured to Run As a user account instead of SYSTEM. This user account must be configured with the appropriate proxy configuration AND the appropriate permissions to access the directories in EFT Server that the TappIn Agent is using for its home directories.
To configure the Tappin Agent to Run As a user account instead of SYSTEM, in the Services control panel, right-click the TappIn Agent service, then click Properties. Click the Logon tab, then click This account, and specify the user account to run the TappIn Agent service. Then restart the TappIn Agent service.
The installation of the SMA module will automatically create the necessary Event Rules within EFT Server and enable them. The Event Rules are editable and can be disabled/enabled, just like any other Event Rule.
When a user account is disabled in EFT Server, SMA will disable the user's shared folders in Tappin.
