Securing iFolder Admin

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 14 Jan 2003

Q:
I have some security questions about iFolder. Is there a way to secure the iFolder Admin like so it cannot be accessed from the Public side? Can something be done on the firewall so that the admin page can only be accessed when one is on the private side? Can the page name be renamed so that it is not the default? Can SecureID or some sort of certificate management be used so that only certain admins can see the admin login page?



A:
Yes to all of the above. That part of iFolder is served through a separate instance of Apache. Just change the config file for that instance to only listen to a specific address.
