11.4.2 Modifying User Account Policies
1 In Web Admin console click the user name link listed under User’s tab to open the user page
2 On the User page opened for that user account, you can select or deselect the following:
Excluded files Specifies to allow all file types or lists the file types to exclude from
synchronization for the selected user’s account.
The file manager files called thumbs.db and .DS_Store are never
synchronized. You do not need to keep these files, and synchronizing them
results in repeated file conflict errors. If you have not set any individual
restrictions for this user, this field reports
thumbs.db
and
.DS_Store
as part
of the system-wide file-type restrictions. After you set individual file-type
restrictions for the user, the user’s settings are displayed instead. Even if the
thumbs.db and .DS_Store restrictions are not displayed, they always apply;
you cannot override them.
Synchronization Specifies the minimum interval (in minutes) that a user’s client can check
iFolder data on the server and iFolder data on local iFolders to identify files that
need to be downloaded or uploaded. Longer interval limits are more restrictive
than shorter ones.
Interval: If a user policy is set, it overrides the system policy, whether the
user’s interval is shorter or longer in value.
Effective: Specifies the current synchronization interval. For example, if the
user sets a synchronization interval that is less than (more frequent) than the
system minimum, the system setting applies.
The effective minimum synchronization interval is always the largest value from
the following settings:
Š
The system policy (default of zero ( 0 )), unless there is a user policy set. If
a user policy is set, the user policy overrides the system policy, whether
the user policy is larger or smaller in value.
Š
The local machine policy, or the setting on the client machine
synchronizing with the server.
Š
The iFolder (collection) policy.
Encryption Specifies the encryption policy for the selected iFolder user.
Sharing Specifies the sharing policy for the selected iFolder user.
Parameter Description
Account Select the Disable User Login check box to disable the account for login.
Deselect the value to enable the account for login.
If the user is logged in when you make this change, the user’s session
continues until the user logs out. The policy takes effect the next time the user
attempts to log in to the account. To have the lockout take effect immediately,
you must restart the Apache services for the iFolder server, which disconnects
all active sessions, including the user’s session.
Default Value: Enabled, Yes
