About Supporting Windows Clients for GNU/Linux Servers

A GNU/Linux server can natively handle requests from macOS and GNU/Linux clients. However, in order to allow Windows based clients to connect to the server, extra steps must be followed:

• The Link Server daemon must be installed. This allows Windows clients to create symbolic links on your macOS server.
• Your database files must be shared via the Samba protocol, which is used by Windows clients to access the database.
• The server.ini file must be filled with information on your database server and its scene data storage spaces. This allows Configuration Wizard to configure Windows clients automatically.
