Novell iFolder 3.6 can use any external LDAP Identity service. It is well tested against Novell eDirectory, Active Directory and OpenLDAP. For Active Directory, the iFolder admin user and the iFolder proxy user must be pre-created before configuration, since the iFolder configuration does not create the users in AD.
During simias-server-setup, mention "Y" for LDAP and configure the iFolder service. The setup auto-detects the type of Directory service and configures. Please mention the FDN for all identities(ifolder admin, ifolder proxy). Mention the container /context in which the user objects are present as the search context, this will enable the server to synchronize the identities to the local database. Rest of the administration can be done using the Web Admin interface.

I can see in the iFolder Web Admin there is the capability, but it does not appear to be complete. Novell have of course, got this working with the OES2 release, such that iFolder 3.6 integrates nicely with the eDirectory Service. Would be great Novell if you could share knowledge some of this with the community :) So has anyone done this and got some quick instructions handy and willing to share? --------------------------------------------------- Justin Freeman | Director email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | web: http://www.agileware.net office: +61 02 61112941 | mobile: +61 0402 027764 address: Unit 17/160 Lysaght Street, Mitchell, ACT 2911, Australia Agileware Pty.
