13.5 Configuring iFolder Server on Machine with Multiple NICs

iFolder server is configured on a machine that has multiple NICs using the following installations:

13.5.1 During OES Installation

iFolder can be configured in two ways:

Configuring iFolder with a New IP Address Other than the Existing NIC Card's IP Addresses

On the iFolder Server Configuration screen, enter the following details:

  1. Admin credentials: On the LDAP Server Configuration screen, Click Next.

  2. iFolder 2.x Server IP Address: Type a new IP address, other than the IP addresses of the existing NIC cards.

  3. iFolder 2.x Server Subnet mask: Specify the subnet mask of the respective IP address.

  4. iFolder 2.x Server DNS name: Specify the DNS name of the iFolder server's IP address.

  5. Click Next

  6. On the iFolder 2.x configuration screen, click Next.

    This completes the configuration of the iFolder server.

Configuring iFolder with the IP Addresses of the Existing NICs

  1. Configure the NICs with their respective IP addresses and the host name of the first NIC card.

    For example, a server configured with three NIC cards:

    eth0 - <IP Address of NIC card 1> <host1.domain1.com>

    eth1 - <IP Address of NIC card 2> <host1.domain1.com>

    eth2 - <IP Address of NIC card 3> <host1.domain1.com>

    In the above example, host1.domain1.com is the common host name for all the NIC cards.

    NOTE:Check the /etc/hosts file for the short host name. The short host name should be aliased to the first NIC card entry only.

  2. Configure the iFolder server as follows:

    1. Admin credentials: On the Admin Credentials screen, click Next.

    2. iFolder 2.x Server IP Address: Specify an IP address of the existing NIC cards, other than the IP address of the NIC card configured with DNS host name.

    3. iFolder 2.x Server Subnet mask: Type the subnet mask of the respective IP address.

    4. iFolder 2.x Server DNS name: Type the DNS name of the iFolder server's IP address and click next.

    5. On the iFolder 2.x Configuration screen, click next.

      This completes the configuration of the iFolder server.
