This guide follows the OES 2 SP2 Linux recommended hardware for server, storage area network
(SAN), and clients. This also includes the network requirements.
Server Software Requirements
A Novell iFolder server has the following software requirements:
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 Linux Support Pack 2 with updated Mono
patch channel for SUSE

Apache configured for traditional NIC
Client Requirements
The Novell iFolder client supports the following workstation operating systems:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10 SP1 and above
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 11
openSUSE 11.1
The iFolder Linux client requires the Mono framework for Linux and a GNOME* desktop for
iFolder Nautilus plug-in support.
Windows XP SP2 and above
Windows Vista SP1 and above
Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Macintosh OS X (Intel architecture) v10.4.11 and later (requires Mono 1.2.5 ). PowerPc

1.1.2 Security Considerations
Based on your security requirements, you can create an encrypted iFolder or a normal iFolder. The
communication between the iFolder server, clients, Web Admin server, and Web Access server for
3.7 and later versions can be set to non-SSL or SSL (secure) or both.
