This section describes how to configure Novell® iFolder® 3.7 servers in a Multi-server environment.
After you install the iFolder enterprise server, you must configure the iFolder services, including LDAP, iFolder system, and iFolder administration settings. To configure iFolder enterprise server, do the following:
Log in as the root user, or open a terminal console, enter su, then enter a password to log in as root.
Change the directory by typing cd /usr/bin at the command prompt.
Run simias-server-setup.
Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed through the iFolder Enterprise Server configuration.
The table summarizes the decisions you make:
To configure iFolder slave server, do the following:
Log in as the root user, or open a terminal console, enter su, then enter a password to log in as root.
Change the directory by typing cd /usr/bin at the command prompt.
Run simias-server-setup --ldap-server=<iFolder LDAP IP address> --prompt.
Here, iFolder LDAP IP address can either be the one configured in iFolder Master server or it can be the LDAP replica server of the LDAP server configured on iFolder master server.
Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed through the iFolder Slave Server configuration.
NOTE:After the iFolder server configuration, you must restart the Apache server for proper configuration of iFolder Web Admin and iFolder Web Access
The table summarizes the decisions you make:
After you install the iFolder Web Access server, you must specify which iFolder enterprise server it supports and the user-friendly URL that users enter in their Web browsers to access it. To configure iFolder Web Access, follow the steps given below:
Log in as the root user, or open a terminal console, enter su, then enter a password to log in as root.
Change the directory by typing cd /usr/bin at the command prompt.
Run ifolder-web-setup.
Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed through the iFolder Web Access configuration.
After you install the iFolder Web Admin server, you must specify which iFolder enterprise server it supports and the user-friendly URL that users enter in their Web browsers to access it. To configure iFolder Web Admin server, follow the steps given below:
Log in as the root user, or open a terminal console, enter su, then enter a password to log in as root.
Change the directory by typing cd /usr/bin at the command prompt.
Run ifolder-admin-setup.
Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed through the iFolder Web Admin configuration.
Given below are the steps to change the iFolder service IP addresses:
To change the IP address of an iFolder Enterprise server,
In the Web Admin console, click the Server tab and select the desired server.
Change the Public URL and Private URL to reflect the new IP address and click
.If the IP address change is for a master server, change the master URL for all the slave servers by using the
page of the respective slave servers listed in the page.For more information on this, see Accessing and Viewing the Server Details Page.
If the LDAP server is configured to the same server, change the URL by using the
page.For more information on this, see LDAP Server.
To change the IP address of the Web Admin server,
In a terminal console, run the following command and change the iFolder enterprise server URL used by the Web Admin server application.
/usr/bin/ifolder-admin-setup
To change the IP address of the Web Access server,
In a terminal console, run the following command and change the iFolder enterprise server URL used by the Web Access server application.
/usr/bin/ifolder-access-setup
Restart the system.
IMPORTANT:You must ensure that all the users whose iFolder clients are connected to the old server IP, are updated the client with the new IP address of the server. For more information on configuring server IP address in an iFolder client, see Viewing and Modifying iFolder Account Settings
in the Novell iFolder 3.7 Cross-Platform User Guide.
If the server is SSL enabled, you must ensure that the new SSL certificate is accepted by all the iFolder users.If a DNS name is used in the iFolder set-up and the new IP address uses the existing DNS name, then you don’t need to change the DNS name for the client, instead accept the new certificate.
