16.3 iFolder Administration

16.3.1 What is the management console for iFolder 3.9?

The management console for iFolder 3.9 is the Web Admin console. For more information on the Web Admin console, see Section 11.0, Managing iFolder Services via Web Admin.

16.3.2 What are the new features in the Web Admin console?

You can manage the multi-server and multi-volume features from the Web Admin console. You can generate reports at a granular level and export them to a text file for later viewing or offline management. You can manage policy settings for the iFolder system, users, and for iFolders. For more information on the Web Admin console, see Section 11.0, Managing iFolder Services via Web Admin

16.3.3 Can the administrator control the ability to encrypt iFolder files?

Yes, the administrator can manage the encryption policy settings through the Web Admin console. For more information, see Section 11.4.4, Configuring System Policies.

16.3.4 Are there any enhancements for how bulk users are enabled for iFolder?

iFolder users can be provisioned based on LDAP groups and containers. The users are provisioned during their first login. The client transparently redirects to the appropriate server in a Multi-server environment. For more information, see Section 3.5, iFolder User Account Considerations.

16.3.5 How can the iFolder administrator manage the data owned by an iFolder user who has been removed from the iFolder domain?

If a user is deleted as a user for the iFolder system, the iFolders owned by the user are orphaned. Orphaned iFolders are assigned temporarily to the iFolder Admin user, who becomes the owner of the iFolder. These iFolders later can be assigned to other users by using the Web administration console. Membership and synchronization continue while the iFolder Admin user determines whether an orphaned iFolder should be deleted or assigned to a new owner. For more information, see Section 13.5.6, Managing Orphaned iFolders.
