1.4.2 Novell iFolder 3 Plug-in to Novell iManager 2.5
The Novell iFolder 3 plug-in to Novell iManager 2.5 is an administrative tool used to manage the
iFolder system, user accounts, and user iFolders and data.
1.4.3 iFolder Web Access
The iFolder 3. x Web Access server provides an interface to allow users remote access to iFolders on
the enterprise server.
For information about using Web Access, see “ Using Novell iFolder 3.x Web Access ” in the iFolder
User Guide for Novell iFolder 3.2 .
1.4.4 The iFolder Client
The iFolder client integrates with the user’s operating system to provide iFolder services in a native
desktop environment. It supports the following client operating systems:
• Novell Linux Desktop 9
• Windows 2000/XP
• Macintosh OS X v10.3 or later
An iFolder session begins when the user logs in to an iFolder services account and ends when the
user logs out of the account or exits the iFolder client. The iFolders synchronize files with the
enterprise server only when a session is active and the computer has an active connection to the
network or Internet. Users can access data in their local iFolders at any time; it does not matter if
they are logged in to their server accounts or if they are connected to the network or Internet.
The iFolder client allows users to create and manage their iFolders. For information, see the iFolder
User Guide for Novell iFolder 3.2 .
1.4.5 Shared iFolders
An iFolder is a local directory that the user selectively shares with other users in a collaboration
environment. The iFolder files are accessible to all members of the iFolder and can be changed by
those with the rights to do so. Users can share iFolders across multiple workstations and with others.
Because the iFolder client is integrated into the operating environment, users can work with iFolders
directly in a file manager or in the My iFolders window. Within the iFolder, users can set up any
subdirectory structure that suits their personal or corporate work habits. The subdirectory structure is
constant across all member iFolders. Each workstation can specify a different parent directory for
the shared iFolder.
1.4.6 iFolder Access Rights
The iFolder client provides four levels of access for members of an iFolder:
• Owner: Only one user serves as the owner. This is typically the user who created the iFolder.
The owner or an iFolder administrator can transfer ownership status from the owner to another
user.
