8 Configure the Data store.
Data Store represents the iFolder storage that can span across multiple volumes (mount points)
in a given server. By default every iFolder server has a default store which cannot be disabled.
With web interface, you can add and configure multiple Data Store across which iFolder data is
load balanced. When the user uploads an iFolder, it check for the Data Store with maximum
free space, and stores the iFolder data in that particular Data Store thereby balancing the load.
You can add as many Data Store as you want. Having multiple Data Store thus makes it
possible to scale the data storage capacity in a large deployment to meet the enterprise-level
requirements.
You can view the following data store information:
Deleting a Data Store: You can delete a Data Store if no iFolder is created on it. To delete a
Data Store, select the check box next to that Data Store and click Delete .
LDAP Context Specify or edit the LDAP containers, groups, or users where iFolder
searches for a list of authorized users to provision for iFolder servers on
this enterprise server. LDAP Contexts are entered in LDAP format. For
example:
cn=group,o=acme#cn=dbgroup,o=acme#
To edit a value, select it, make your changes, then click OK to apply the
changes.
During LDAP synchronization, the iFolder server queries the LDAP server
to retrieve a list of users in the DNs (as specified in the LDAP Contexts
field) at the specified synchronization interval. The usernames in the
iFolder domain are matched against this official LDAP list. Any new user in
the specified LDAP contexts are added to the iFolder domain. If a user is
no longer in the specified LDAP contexts, the username is removed from
the domain, any iFolders the user owns are orphaned and reassigned to
the iFolder Admin user, and the user is removed as a member of other
iFolders.
The iFolder Admin User is provisioned for servers during the install. It is
tracked by its GUID, so it is available even if you do not specify a container,
group, or user, or if you specify Search DNs that do not contain the Folder
Admin user. This identity must be provisioned to enable the iFolder Admin
to perform management tasks.
