OES CIFS can be configured to use an OES Multifactor Authentication (MFA) service to enforce multifactor authentication when users access the CIFS share. MFA service is supported on OES version 24.4 or later.

For more information, see OES Multifactor Authentication Service.

1.1.2 iPrint Advanced

OES iPrint Advanced and OES iPrint patterns are merged in this release. Thus, OES iPrint Advanced is available with OES iPrint capabilities.

The database configuration of the OES services are separated as a new OES database pattern.

1.1.4 OES FTP Server

A new module oesftpipc.service is introduced for OES FTP server (pure-ftpd) to fetch the user details of eDirectory (FQDN) and Active Directory (User ID, home directory, AD domain name) during authentication.

The pure-ftpd.service and oesftpipc.service must be running on OES server for FTP functionality to work.
