6.2 Configuring the iFolder Enterprise Server
After you install the iFolder enterprise server, you must configure the iFolder services, including the
LDAP, iFolder system, and iFolder administration settings.
IMPORTANT:
If you install iFolder when you install OES Linux, the same parameters described in
this procedure are available as an integrated part of the server install. However, you cannot choose
an NSS volume as the iFolder
System Store Path
because NSS volumes cannot be created during the
server platform install.
1
If you plan to use an NSS volume as the System Store Path for the users’ iFolder data, use
iManager to create the NSS volume, then create a directory on the volume.
For information, see “
Managing NSS Volumes
” in the
Novell Storage Services File System
Administration Guide for OES
.
2
Log in to the server as the root user, or open a terminal console, enter
su
, then enter a
password.
3
Start YaST, click
Network Services
, then click
iFolder 3
.
4
Follow the Yast on-screen instructions to proceed through the Novell iFolder 3 configuration.
The following table summarizes the decisions you make.
IMPORTANT:
If you ever need to run the configuration again, you can modify any field
except the
System Store Path
and the
iFolder User Login Based on Which LDAP Attribute
options. These parameter settings cannot be modified after the initial configuration.
Install Settings
Description
LDAP Server
Configuration
• Local or Remote Directory Server:
Select
Local
if your LDAP directory
services are running on the same server as the iFolder 3 enterprise
server. Otherwise, select
Remote
.
• Directory Server Address:
If directory services are Remote, specify the
IP address of the LDAP server to use for this iFolder enterprise server.
• LDAP Admin Name:
The fully distinguished name of the Admin user
with administrative rights to LDAP. This information is needed during the
configuration to create User objects for the administrative iFolder Proxy
user. The LDAP schema is not extended.
Specify an existing username and an existing context. If the user does not
already exist, the username is created only if the context is valid.
For example:
cn=admin.o=acme
• LDAP Admin Password:
Specify the LDAP Admin user’s password.
• iFolder User Login Based on Which LDAP Attribute:
Specify which
LDAP attribute of the User account to apply when authenticating users.
Each user enters a Username in this specified format at login time.
Options are Common Name (
cn
, default) and e-mail address (
). This
setting cannot be changed after the install.
For example, if a user named John Smith has a common name of
jsmith
and e-mail of
, this field determines
whether the user enters
jsmith
or
as the
Username
when logging in to the iFolder server.
