4.2 Enterprise Server

4.2.1 Install Guidelines for Other Components

We recommend that your iFolder enterprise server, Web Admin server and Web Access server run on separate dedicated servers. For small office use, both enterprise server, Web Admin server and Web access server can run on the same server without degraded performance. For best performance, configure your iFolder server as an independent system with, at most, the following services:

  • Directory services.

  • Novell iFolder 3.8 :

    • Enterprise server

    • Web Access server

    • Web Admin server

    • novell-ifolder-mono-2.4.x (The Mono package is required for iFolder enterprise server, Web Admin server, and Web Access server for 3.7 and later versions.)

    • Apache 2 Web Server (The apache2-worker package is required for iFolder enterprise server, Web Admin server, and Web Access server for 3.7 and later versions.)

      IMPORTANT:Ensure that Apache is SSL-enabled and is configured to point to an SSL certificate on an ifolder server. For more information, see Section D.3, Configuring Apache to Point to an SSL Certificate on an iFolder Server.

Installing other applications or services on the iFolder server affects iFolder performance and might introduce conflicts with the required versions of applications iFolder depends on, such as Apache 2 or Mono.
