Deployment
A multi-server (master-master) setup consists of multiple domains that are created so that master
servers can communicate to each other. A master-master setup is particularly useful for
organizations that have multiple independent departments that do not need to communicate with
each other. Also, this setup is beneficial for organizations that have offices in different geographical
locations where each location needs its own domain.
A multi-server (master-master) setup is illustrated in the following figure. In this setup, all three
servers host the iFolder server, Web Access console, and Web Admin console. Each of these servers
is independent from the others and serve an independent set of clients. The clients or users
connected to these servers can view and share iFolders with users of the same server only. User
authentication is done through the eDirectory secure LDAP protocol.
