You must configure at least one iFolder account before you can create iFolders or share iFolders on your system. You can create only one account for any given host computer or server, but you can have multiple accounts.
A user with a different local login and user account can log in to the same computer at a different time and use iFolder to create his or her own set of iFolders under that identity. iFolder synchronizes only iFolders belonging to the active user.
Use one of these methods to access account setup:
Click New to access the Account Settings area.
Specify the following values:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Server |
The DNS name or IP address of the iFolder enterprise server where you have an account. For example: svr21.example.com or 192.168.1.1. |
Username |
Enter your user identity for this account. Your iFolder administrator decides whether the format you should use is your network user ID (LDAP common name) or your e-mail address. For example, if your name is John Smith with a user ID of jsmith and an e-mail address of john.smith@example.com, your administrator configures a setting for the server that determines which of the two formats to accept in the Username field for authentication purposes. |
Password |
The password for your username. |
Remember Password |
Select Remember Password to log in automatically to this iFolder account whenever you log in to your computer. For information, see Logging In to an iFolder Account. If your network password changes, automatic authentication fails gracefully the next time iFolder attempts to log in to the iFolder account. iFolder prompts you to log in with your new password and allows you to specify and save the new password. |
Enable Account |
Select Enable Account to allow background synchronization of iFolder invitations, the user list, and iFolders for this account. |
Default Account |
Select Default Account to make this account the one selected by default in the drop-down list of accounts when you create iFolders. |
Click OK or Log In.
If prompted with a certificate, review the certificate, then click OK to accept it. The account appears in the list of accounts with a status of Logged In. iFolder begins synchronizing any existing iFolders, iFolder notifications, and the user list for that account.
Click OK to close the iFolder Preferences dialog box.
Set up iFolders for the account using either of these methods:
