8.3 Proxy User Identities

Path to Configuration Dialog: Filr Administration Console > Management > Proxy Identities

You can simplify the management of Net Folder Proxy Users by creating Proxy Identities for them as follows:

  1. Define a proxy identity for each of your Net Folder Proxy Users.

    1. In Filr Administration Console > Management > Proxy Identities, click New Proxy Identity...

    2. Assign the identity an arbitrary name that identifies the proxy user. For example, accounting-server-nf-proxy.

    3. Using the LDAP browser, navigate to the user and select it.

    4. Specify and verify the user’s password.

    5. Click OK.

  2. When you configure a Net Folder Server, instead of browsing to the proxy user, you can select its associated Proxy User Identity in a drop-down list.

  3. When the proxy user’s password changes on the backend LDAP server, you need only change it in the Proxy User Identity dialog rather than in each Net Folder Server definition.
