Setting security on remote_directory files in Windows

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Hi,

Trying to create a directory containing files from a cookbook using the
following:

remote_directory root_path do
source 'AppRoot’
rights :full_control, ‘NETWORK SERVICE’, :applies_to_children => true
recursive true
end

The directory & files are created ok, and security is set on the directory.

But the files do not get the required permissions…no mention of NETWORK
SERVICE for the files.

Any clues?

Strange, this works:

remote_directory root_path do
source 'AppRoot'
end

directory root_path do
rights :full_control, 'NETWORK SERVICE'
end

It would imagine this to be sufficient:

remote_directory root_path do
source 'AppRoot'
rights :full_control, 'NETWORK SERVICE'
end

But specifying rights on remote_directory doesn't work, even with the
subsequent directory resource....

Bug?

Sorry for the late reply. You need files_rights to control the permissions on the files, similar to how you use files_mode to set them on *nix.
