eDirectory 8.8.x is a secure identity management solution that provides centralized identity management, infrastructure, Net-wide security, and scalability to all types of applications running behind and beyond the firewall. It natively supports the directory standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) 3 and provides support for TLS/SSL services based on the OpenSSL source code. eDirectory is available as a component of Open Enterprise Server.
IMPORTANT:Ensure that you select Use eDirectory Certificate for HTTPS services option in the eDirectory configuration for a proper SSL communication between the iFolder master and the slave servers.
Before you configure iFolder, eDirectory must be configured and running. In iFolder, you specify LDAP containers and groups that contain User objects of users who you want to be iFolder users. You must create contexts and define users in eDirectory. For information, see the following topics in the Novell eDirectory 8.8 Administration Guide:
Make sure your LDAP objects comply with the naming conventions for your LDAP services. For information, see Section 3.3, Naming Conventions for Usernames and Passwords.
