Before you can manage iFolder 3 services, you must install the iFolder iManager Module for Novell iManager 2.7. After it is installed, this plug-in is named iFolder 3 in the iManager Roles and Tasks list.
Make sure you meet prerequisites, then use one of the methods for installing the iFolder plug-in:
If you have not already done so, install Novell iManager 2.7 on the same or different server as your iFolder server. For information, see Novell iManager 2.7 Installation Guide
The iFolder 3 plug-in supports the optional use of Role Based Services (RBS) in Novell iManager. RBS gives you the ability to assign specific tasks to iManager admin users and to present the admin user with only the tools necessary to perform a specified set of tasks or manage only objects as determined by their roles. What admin users see when they access iManager is based on their role assignments in eDirectory. Only the roles and tasks assigned to that user are displayed.
For information, see “Configuring Role-Based Services” in the Novell eDirectory 8.8 Administration Guide
If you do not have Role-Based Services (RBS) configured for eDirectory, install the iFolder Manager Module as follows:
In a Web browser, log in to iManager on the iFolder server where you installed iManager.
https://ifolder.example.com/nps/iManager.html
Replace ifolder.example.com with the IP address (such as 192.168.1.1) or the DNS name of the iFolder server.
If you installed iManager on a different server in the same tree as your iFolder server, log in to iManager on that server.
In the toolbar, click the Configure icon (person seated behind a desk).
In Roles and Tasks, expand Plug-in Installation, then click Available Novell Plug-In Modules.
Locate the iFolder iManager Module plug-in, select its plug-in check box, then click Install.
This install takes a few minutes. You should receive a message confirming a successful install.
Click OK to dismiss the message, then close iManager.
Stop and start the Apache server by entering the following command at the terminal console:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Verify that the plug-in is enabled by opening iManager in a Web browser and checking to see if the iFolder 3 plug-in appears in the list of Roles and Tasks.
For information, see Section 6.8, Accessing iManager and the iFolder Web Admin.
Continue with Section 6.9, Provisioning Users, Groups and iFolder Services.
If you are running iManager in Assigned Mode and have RBS configured for eDirectory, complete the following steps to install the iFolder iManager Module.
IMPORTANT:To re-install an existing plug-in, you must first delete the rbsModule object for that plug-in from eDirectory, using the Module Configuration > Delete RBS Module task.
In a Web browser, log in to iManager as an RBS Collection Owner on the system where you installed iFolder.
https://ifolder.example.com/nps/iManager.html
Replace ifolder.example.com with the IP address (such as 192.168.1.1) or the DNS name of the iFolder server.
In the toolbar, click the Configure icon (person seated behind a desk).
In Roles and Tasks, expand Plug-in Installation, then click Available Novell Plug-In Modules.
Locate the iFolder iManager Module, select its plug-in check box, then click Install.
This install takes a few minutes. You should receive a message confirming a successful install.
Click OK to dismiss the message, then close iManager.
Stop and start the Apache server by entering the following command at the terminal console:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Click the Configure icon.
Under Role-Based Services, select RBS Configuration.
The table on the Collections tabbed page displays modules ready to update.
