# Retrieve ACLs from a Netware File System

This section describes how to retrieve Netware ACLs for files retrieved from a Netware file system.

## Requirements

- To retrieve files from a Netware file system, the connector must be installed on a machine running Windows. You must also install the Novell client on the connector machine. This allows the connector to access the Netware server.

- Run the connector's Windows service as a user who has administrative permissions on the connector machine.

- It is possible to retrieve files from an NT file system and a Netware file system using the same fetch task. However, to retrieve Access Control Lists for the documents you must use separate fetch tasks. For example:

      [FetchTasks]
      Number=2
      0=MyTask
      1=Netware
      MappedSecurity=True

      [MyTask]
      // Task for extracting files from an NT file system
      DirectoryPathCSVs=\\server.domain.com\folder,\\server.domain.com\anotherfolder

      [Netware]
      // Task for extracting files from Netware
      DirectoryPathCSVs=\\netware\sys\public
      NetwareServer=10.0.0.7
      NetwareUsername=CN=ADMIN.O=ORG
      NetwarePassword=password

- The `NetwareUsername` parameter must be set and must contain a distinguished name, for example:

  `NetwareUsername=CN=ADMIN.O=ORG`

- The `DirectoryPathCSVs` configuration parameter must be configured using a full path, for example:

  `DirectoryPathCSVs=\\netware\sys\public`

- To ensure that CFS has access to the files retrieved from a Netware file system, it might be necessary to make a temporary copy of the files by setting the `IngestSharedPath` parameter. For example:

      [Ingestion]
      IngestSharedPath=\\server\IngestShared\

## Troubleshooting

If the connector fails with the following error, this usually indicates that the value specified for the `NetwareUsername` configuration parameter is not known or is not a valid distinguished name:

`<TASK>: Netware error 889a (NWDSLogin)
Failed to complete <ACTION> for task '<TASK>' [<TOKEN>]: Netware initialization or logon failed`
