These shares can be accessed from your workstation provided you are connected to the network (i.e., in your office or via the VPN) and have the necessary permissions.
Authentication is always performed using your UCA account
Access with Windows✯
For Windows workstations in the 'LOCAL' domain✯
By default, all Windows workstations are in the LOCAL domain (unless specifically requested otherwise)
Quick Method
All Windows computers in the domain receive a GPO that automatically mounts the correct network drives.
Type gpupdate /force in the Windows search bar. This will refresh the GPO within a few seconds, and you will see the administrative drives for which you have access (a restart may be required).
Complete Method
Open Windows Explorer
Right-click on Computer and select "Map network drive"
Select a drive letter for the folder, enter \\samantha\Partages, then click "Browse"
Expand local.isima.fr to find your network share.
and VALIDATE by clicking "Finish"
Make sure to check "Reconnect at sign-in"
For workstations outside the domain (same procedure as above, only authentication changes)✯
The procedure is the same as for Windows workstations in the 'LOCAL' domain, except for the "Which network folder do you want to connect to?" window.
Compared to the screenshot above, you must...
- Also check "Connect using different credentials"
- As the login, you must specify the domain name in the form of adding
@local.isima.frto your UCA accountLogin_UCA@local.isima.fr Password

To mount a network drive from a GNU/Linux system, the easiest way is to use the Samba protocol.
You will need to specify the server you want to connect to along with the share path and your ENT username and password.
The procedure is similar whether accessing administrative shares or your personal directory.
The procedure is described for several file managers. See below.
Use the URI (server address): smb://samantha.local.isima.fr/partages/<share_name>

- Password: [the ENT one]
With the file manager (Ubuntu)✯
Open the file manager and click "Connect to Server"

In the server address, type smb://samantha.local.isima.fr/partages/ followed by the network drive letter to mount, for example smb://samantha.local.isima.fr/partages/<share_name>/administration

- In the next window, indicate that you are connecting as a "Registered user"
- Then enter your UCA@local.isima.fr ID
- The domain is
LOCAL - Then enter your UCA password
- Finally, select "Remember forever"

Once the connection is established, select your drive in the file manager, right-click, and click "Add to bookmarks"
