While browsing NTFS shares, published as connectors in the ShareFile Mobile clients, or the ShareFile desktop application for windows, all the directories in the directory you are currently browsing will have their “Last Modified” timestamp updated as below: sharefilebug To resolve this issue, open the following file:

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\StorageCenter\cifs\AppSettingsRelease.config

Add the following line the config:

<add key="disable-folder-permission-verification" value="1" />

Once added, recycle the StorageCenterAppPool in IIS as below: apppoolI have it on strong authority this will be resolved in a future build, but no promises. A big thank you to Dan Brinkmann, George Christophi and Citrix Support for this fix.

XM<FYI, this was resolved in version 10.3.5>

Here’s a horrendous bug I just came across in the field today while deploying a XenMobile 10.3 Proof of Concept with a customer.

Post the initial deployment of the OVF on vSphere, i ran the usual CLI wizard to IP the appliance and create the database. After restart the web ‘Administrator’ user account just would not accept the password i provided during the wizard.

On closer inspection of the database by comparing with my own lab (never POC without a LAB!) , the ‘administrator’ username was completely missing from the database under ‘dbo.security_principal’…dbo.security_principal

what the ‘crappity crap’ went wrong I don’t know. but I reproduced it 4 times in numerous tests.

 

I managed to find a workaround involving specifying a different username. I.E. delete your deployment and database and when the wizard prompts for the ‘administrator’ name with default value, specify something different.

In my case I specified ‘zdmadmin’ and this worked correctly allowing me to get the hell out in time for a Friday beverage.

working

I hope this helps anyone else facing this issue!
