File Server Virtual Appliance - Extplorer fails out of the box
When accessing extlorer on the file server va, i enter my credentials for root and get an access decied. I go in and change p/w for root on samba, get denied. set p/w for samba user nobody, get denied or it hands w/ blank p/w. Any insight how to make this work out of the box?
eXtplorer uses its own user database - not Linux users!
The default login details for eXplorer should be on the appliance page, you then need to set up user accounts. For security you will need to change the default admin account password.
I would strongly suggest that you do not use root for Samba access, set up new user accounts for Samba: create new Linux users then sync Linux users with Samba users - all this easiest done in Webmin. You also need to remember that just like in advanced Windows file sharing there are 2 levels of permissions, file permissions and share permissions. There should be many posts about Samba permission here on the forums, use the seach function (top right corner).
Defaults do not work
I am also installing the FIleserver on 4 seperate boxes. The admin username and password I set up from the beginning does not work. Even if I change the password many times over. Are we missing something?
Which particular password are you referring to?
Assuming you are using the current stable v11.x TKL appliance (and if you're not then go do that), on first boot you should be asked for 2 passwords: The root (Linux admin account) password, the other should be for eXtplorer admin user.
The root password can be used for logging into the local terminal, SSH, SFTP, WebShell (Shell-in-a-box) and Webmin (username: root). The eXplorer password should get you into default eXplorer (username: admin) - although IIRC you use root (or another Linux user) to access the webFTP part of eXtplorer.
Confusion understood.
Hi,
Ok. I had the same problem.
I was expecting that this app also had the users sincronized, so when I create a linux user, he is sincronized to the samba module and also to this app.
Guess I was wrong. That's bad. So I have to create a user in two places. :(
Everything else is great!!! Good job.

eXtplorer batch import can be done apparently
I'm sure I read somewhere on the eXtplorer website that you can batch import users but it's a bit of a hack. The other thing is that you can use FTP mode (which uses Linux users). It'd be nice if you could make that the default but I don't know if that's possible.
Syncing Samba users is pretty easy. One click in Webmin.
yahoo password find
exlelente work tunkey people, the password for eXtplorer is "turnkey"
thanks
Only with TKL legacy
None of the v11.x appliances have default passwords AFAIK. eXtplorer password is set on firstboot.
