5.3 Novell eDirectory 8.7.3
Novell eDirectory
TM
8.7.3 is a secure identity management solution that provides centralized identity
management, infrastructure, Net-wide security, and scalability to all types of applications running
behind and beyond the firewall. It natively supports the directory standard Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) 3 and provides support for TLS/SSL services based on the OpenSSL
source code. eDirectory is available as a component of Novell Open Enterprise Server.
Before you configure iFolder, eDirectory must be configured and running. In iFolder, you specify
LDAP containers and groups that contain User objects of users who you want to be iFolder users.
You must create contexts and define users in eDirectory. For information, see the following topics in
the
Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 Administration Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir873/
edir873/data/a2iii88.html) :
• “Designing Your Novell eDirectory Network” (http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir873/
edir873/data/a2iiido.html)
• “Managing User Accounts” (http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir873/edir873/data/
afxkmdi.html)
Make sure your LDAP objects comply with the naming conventions for your LDAP services. For
information, see
Section 3.3, “Naming Conventions for Usernames and Passwords,” on page 32 .
5.4 Novell iManager 2.5
Novell iManager 2.5 is a Web-based administration console that provides secure, customized access
to network administration utilities and content. Before you can configure the Novell iFolder 3 plug-
in for iManager, iManager must be installed and configured.
For information, see the Novell iManager 2.5 Administration Guide (http://www.novell.com/
documentation/imanager25/imanager_admin_25/data/hk42s9ot.html) .
5.5 Mono
Novell iFolder 3. x requires the Mono
®
framework for Linux. Mono is a development platform for
running and developing modern applications. Based on the ECMA/ISO Standards, Mono can run
existing programs that target the .NET or Java frameworks. The Mono Project is an open source
effort led by Novell and is the foundation for many new applications. For information about Mono,
see the
Mono Project Web site (http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page) .
The required version of Mono is included on the
.iso
files. Mono is installed automatically as a
dependency of iFolder during the install of the iFolder enterprise server or the Web Access server.
The iFolder clients for Linux and Macintosh also require Mono 1.1.7. The required version of Mono
is packaged in the iFolder client installation files that you distribute to your users. For information,
see
Section 6.7, “Distributing the iFolder Client to Users,” on page 62 . Linux and Macintosh users
