8.4 Refreshing the List of iFolder Users

All eDirectory users are enabled for access to iFolder 3.9 by default. However, the iFolder 3.9 Administration utility must be synchronized with eDirectory. By default this happens every 24 hours.

  1. Open your browser and log in to iManager as admin.

    If you receive a Tomcat error, see Section A.2, iManager Tomcat Error.

  2. In Roles and Tasks, click iFolder 3.9 > Launch iFolder Admin Console.

  3. In the iFolder Server field, type the IP address of the OES 11 SP2 getting-started lab server.

  4. Select the Authenticate Using Current iManager Credentials option.

  5. Click OK.

    The Users tab shows the users that are recognized by the iFolder server as having iFolder service access. Because the LDAP search context doesn’t include the USERS container, the eDirectory users you have added don’t appear in the list.

  6. Click the Servers tab.

  7. Click the blue link for the OES 11 SP2 getting-started lab server.

  8. In the LDAP Details section, click the Edit button.

  9. In the LDAP Admin DN field, type cn=admin,o=company.

    Notice that the delimeter is a comma (,), not a period (.).

  10. In the LDAP Admin Password field, type the Admin user password.

  11. In the LDAP Contexts field, change SERVERS to USERS, then click OK.

    This changes the search context to the USERS directory.

  12. In the LDAP Details section, click the blue Sync Now link.

    Notice that the default synchronization interval is 1440 minutes (24 hours).

  13. Click the Users tab.

    Notice that the users you have created are added to the list.

  14. Close the iFolder Administration console, then continue with Configuring iFolder Accounts and Creating iFolders.
