Before you configure iFolder, Openldap 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 Openldap.
If you are using Openldap as the LDAP source for iFolder, follow the guidelines given below:
iFolder proxy user has the read rights to all the LDAP contexts configured in iFolder.
The iFolder Admin user and all other users are synced from the LDAP to the iFolder domain by using the proxy user credentials. Therefore, the proxy user should have the read rights to the iFolder Admin object and to all the contexts.
NOTE:Read rights refer to the entry rights and all the attributes rights.
