B.2 Upgrading Manually from iFolder 1.x to iFolder 2.1

  1. Stop the iFolder service or the Web server service on the server that you are going to upgrade.

  2. Uninstall iFolder Standard Edition on the server that you want to upgrade.

  3. Install iFolder 2.1, using one of the following methods.

  4. If LDAP is running on the same server that holds your User objects, no additional LDAP configuration is required, and you can skip to Step 5.

    However, if your LDAP server does not contain your User objects, do either of the following:

    • In the iFolder Management Console, add your user contexts to your settings for the User LDAP directory.

      To do this, log in to the Global Settings section of the iFolder Management Console, click User LDAPs, click the server name you are upgrading, enter the context of your User objects, then click Update.

    • Add the LDAP directory that contains your User objects in the iFolder Management Console.

      To do this, log in to the Global Settings section of the iFolder Management Console, then click User LDAPs.

      For instructions, see Managing User LDAP Servers.

  5. In the iFolder Management Console, click Global Settings > iFolder Servers.

  6. Select the server you just upgraded to iFolder 2.1.

  7. Click Upgrade.

    This will assign the iFolder attribute to the iFolder users on the server that you just upgraded. This attribute authorizes your iFolder users to access the upgraded iFolder server.

  8. After installing iFolder 2.1 server, have the users install the iFolder 2.1 client on their workstations and log in to the iFolder server. The initial iFolder client login will prompt the users to enter a new passphrase. They can enter the old passphrase if they want to, because iFolder doesn't need a new passphrase; it simply needs to store the passphrase in a format that it can recognize.
