10.1 Provisioning Users for iFolder Services
Provisioning a user for iFolder occurs automatically based on the containers and groups you specify
as Search DNs in the LDAP settings. You can specify any existing context. For information, see
Section 3.5, “iFolder User Account Considerations,” on page 34 .
The list of iFolder users is updated periodically when the LDAP synchronization occurs. New users
are added to the list of iFolder users. Deleted users are removed from the list of iFolder users. (This
might create orphaned iFolders if the deleted user owned any iFolders.)
IMPORTANT: Whenever you move a user between contexts and you want to provide continuous
service for the user, make sure to add the target context to the list of Search DNs before you move
the User object in eDirectory.
For information about configuring Search DNs, see Section 8.4, “Configuring the LDAP Settings
for an iFolder Server,” on page 84 .
