1.5 Linux Server Issues for iFolder 2.1.5

1.5.1 LDAP Configuration

  • The LDAP server used by iFolder must run on the default LDAP ports 389 and 636.
  • Manual configuration of the iFolder server does not support the IP address for LDAP server; instead, you need to provide the DNS name for LDAP server. For example, use the DNS name xyz.us.acme.com instead of the IP address aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.
  • Whether the configuration is manual or through YaST for iFolder server on Linux, the LDAP server used by iFolder server must have a valid DNS name. The DNS name server should be configured to enable reverse lookups.

    When configuring through YaST, the DNS name for the given IP address for LDAP server is resolved internally. If there is no valid DNS entry for the LDAP server's IP address, the YaST install fails to configure the iFolder server. In this case, make a DNS entry for the LDAP server's IP address in the DNS server. Then reconfigure iFolder using either of the following methods:

    • YaST: Enter yast2 ifolder2 at the shell prompt.
    • Manual: Enter /opt/novell/ifolder/bin/ifolder_config.sh at the shell prompt.

1.5.2 Uninstalling iFolder

After uninstalling iFolder 2.x, (refer to the Novell iFolder online documentation Web site for detailed steps) the iFolder Server object needs to be manually deleted from the tree. This can be done through iManager.

1.5.3 Dual NICs Not Supported

The iFolder 2.x Linux server is not supported for dual NICs configured for public and private networks.

1.5.4 Updating iFolder 2.x from NLS 1.0 to OES Not Supported

Upgradation of iFolder 2.x from NLS 1.0 to OES is not supported. Make sure that the iFolder server for OES is installed afresh.
