1.7 Configuration Issues

1.7.1 User Name Character Restrictions for LDAP Synchronization and Login

LDAP user names must contain only numerical values 0 - 9 and upper-case and lower-case letters (A-Z). User names that contain special characters (for example, / \ * ? " < > : | ) cannot be used as Novell Filr user names. If your LDAP directory includes user names with these characters, they synchronize to the Filr site, but the associated users cannot log in.

These characters cannot be used in a Filr user name because a Filr user name becomes the user’s workspace title, and the workspace title becomes an element of the hierarchical path that leads to the workspace. These characters are not legal characters in Linux and Windows pathnames.

1.7.2 User Names That Are Synchronized from LDAP Are Not Case Sensitive for Filr Login

User names that are synchronized from an LDAP directory are not case sensitive when users log in to the Filr system.

Local user accounts (user accounts that are created in Filr and not synchronized from an LDAP directory) are case sensitive. Login credentials for local user accounts are stored in the MySQL database.

1.7.3 Restrictions on Applet Support

Applets are not supported on 64-bit Firefox on a system with a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) earlier than 1.6.0_12.

On a 64-bit operating system, updating to JRE 1.6.0.12 or later enables the applets to work.

For example, multi-file drag-and-drop from the desktop, file paste from the desktop, Edit-in-Place, and the graphical display in the workflow editor do not work where applets are not supported.

1.7.4 Access Based Enumeration Is Not Supported When Using DFS for Windows Namespace

When using Distributed File System (DFS) for Windows namespace, Microsoft’s Access Based Enumeration (ABE) is not supported.

1.7.5 NFS Support

NFS file system mounts are supported for placing the Filr file repository on a remote server from where Filr is running.

1.7.6 Access Manager Issues

Cannot Use Multiple Identity Injection Policies Simultaneously

When NetIQ Access Manager is configured to front Filr, you cannot use multiple identity injection policies simultaneously.
