Caveats for Implementing iFolder
3.7 Services
This section presents a few pointers for avoiding common iFolder 3.7 implementation problems.
The list that follows is not comprehensive. Rather, it simply outlines some of the more common
problems reported by network administrators. To ensure successful service implementations, you
should always follow the instructions in the documentation for the services you are implementing.
This section discusses the caveats to consider after installing and before implementing the iFolder
3.7 services.

B.1 Loading Certificates to the Recovery Agent
Path
If the path to the key Recovery agent certificates is set during iFolder configuration, you must
ensure that the certificates are copied to this location. The location is
datapath /simias/
Simias.config
under the
RAPath
section.
For more information on the Recovery agent, refer to the Section 6.6, “Recovery Agent
Certificates,” on page 77 .
B.2 Using Novell iFolder Server to Serve Large
Files
Novell iFolder is capable of serving large files, subject to the system or file system limits. However,
Mono® has a race condition in the Mono version that ships with Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2
that prevents large file uploads. The Mono team has fixed this issue in 1.2.5 release. You must
update all the Mono components, including XSP for serving large file uploads.
To update the components,
1 Install SLES and the OES 2 components except iFolder.
2 Register for the Customer Center through YaST 2 > Customer Center Configuration .
