OLE media object file permissions for web client

We're continuing to migrate our users from fat client to web client. We had situation arise in which a user could modify an internal attachment OLE media object from the fat client, but not from the web client. The JAS server log indicates a file permission error.

Do you know what permissions are supposed to be set so that web clients can access (read, write and delete) OLE media objects?
 
The first place to check is the user that starts the OAS or WebSphere services on your JAS server. This user needs Change rights to the MediaObject directory on the Deployment Server (or wherever they are stored), and to the moqueue directory in the JAS instance.

Also, if you are using a browser other than IE, you can only view an MO.
 
Ken's suggestion about checking directory rights is the best place to start.

We're running Xe SP23 J1 on iSeries V5R3 with Websphere 5.0.2 (everything on one box configuration) and OLE media objects have always been an issue for us because of multiple reasons that may not apply to other companies.

We configured our websphere and http iSeries environments as recommended by IBM. But JAS directories (and files stored in them) are owned by the websphere system user id, amd when users try to access the OLE media objects via web client, the request is associated with the system user id the HTTP servers are running under. So you get permission errors.

Long story short, we've worked around the problem by requiring users to use URLs to locations in our content management system instead of using file attachments.
