iFolder Server Now Open Source

iFolder Enterprise Server Downloads

Novell is making available all of the iFolder 3 server components to the iFolder open source project - now all iFolder components will be available for anyone to use. The Novell development team has been hard at work prepping the code, fixing file hierarchy issues and building packages for the first open source release of the iFolder server. The iFolder open source project will be the base for future releases of the Novell iFolder 3 in one form or another.

So here it is simple and sweet. Install the .rpm, restart Apache and you're ready to start enjoying the benefits of iFolder. For more details check out the budding OSS iFolder server Overview and HowTos.

QuickStart Guide

We created a default administrator account “admin” with a default password “simias”. Clever users can edit “Simias.config” located at /etc/simias/bill before restarting Apache to change the default admin and iFolder server settings. (NOTE: by iFolderServer3 3.5.6149 (or possibly earlier) editing this Simias.config file will not change the password for admin. Use UserCmd.exe to change passwords, see below.)

What's New

  • The ability to change user passwords is now included in the UserCmd.exe utility
  • The ability to configure Multi Domain iFolder Enterprise Servers

Accessing the Server

  • The 3.2 client that was released with OES-SP2 will not (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=163673) work with the OSS server.
  • The iFolder 3.4 SUSE 10.0, SUSE 10.1, and SLES/SLED 10 clients (http://forgeftp.novell.com/ifolder/client/3.4/current/linux/) work great against this server. There also is a Mac (http://forgeftp.novell.com/ifolder/client/3.4/current/mac/) and Windows (http://forgeftp.novell.com/ifolder/client/3.4/current/win/) iFolder 3.4 client that can be used to test the server.
  • For the new WebAccess go to: 
http://host/ifolder

You should note that due to this bug (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=173424), it is necessary to create at least one iFolder for a user, or the login process for that user will fail. Users and their iFolders can be created from the Admin utility.

  • For the new Admin utility go to: 
http://host/admin

Managing iFolder Server User Accounts

  • To provision users for the iFolder server, access the admin web interface
    • http://host/admin
    • Login as the admin account
    • On the user tab, select the "Create" button on the bottom right
  • Additionally there is a command line utility that you can run
    • mono /usr/lib/simias/bin/UserCmd.exe --help
    • Syntax used to create a new user account:
    • mono /usr/lib/simias/bin/UserCmd.exe create --url http://host --admin-name admin --admin-password simias --user testUser --password testPassword --first FirstName --last LastName
    • Syntax for listing the current users:
    • mono /usr/lib/simias/bin/UserCmd.exe list --url http://host --admin-name <name> --admin-password <pwd>
    • Syntax for changing a user's password:
    • mono /usr/lib/simias/bin/UserCmd.exe setpwd --url http://host --admin-name <name> --admin-password <pwd> --user <user to reset> --password <new password>
