Accessing the iFolder Web Sites

Once Novell iFolder is installed and configured on your server, your users can download and install the iFolder client and then log in to the iFolder server. The first time the user logs in with the iFolder client, he activates his iFolder account, providing that his account has already been enabled in the iFolder Management Console.

For more information on how the iFolder server and client software work together, see Understanding the Novell iFolder Architecture.

After iFolder has been installed on your server, you have access to the following two Web sites:

• The iFolder Web site

  To access the default iFolder Web site, enter the IP address or the DNS name of your server into a browser.

  This site contains the iFolder Quick Start and other important information about Novell iFolder. It is also where users will download the iFolder client and access their iFolder files via a browser (using the Java applet or the HTML access for pocket PC devices, such as iPAQ*).

  You can modify this page to fit your company's internal needs. For more information about where these files are located, see the following:

  • Locating iFolder Files for NetWare servers
  • Locating iFolder Files for Windows NT/2000 servers
  • Locating iFolder Files for Linux and Solaris servers

• The iFolder Management Console

  The iFolder Management Console lets you manage your users' iFolder accounts as well as your iFolder and LDAP servers. To access the iFolder Management Console, open a browser and enter

  https://ifolderserverip/iFolderServer/Admin

  IMPORTANT:  The iFolder Management Console URL is case sensitive. If you specified different ports during the installation, append the IP address of the server with a colon followed by the port number (https://ifolderserverip:port/iFolderServer/Admin).
