7.1.1 iFolder Configuration
When you configure the master or slave stores, ensure that the file system resources are online on
the respective iFolder server nodes and are mutually exclusive.
7.1.2 Web Admin Server Configuration
The Web Admin server can be part of the master server resource and does not need to be a separate
cluster node.
7.1.3 Web Access Server Configuration
Ensure that multiple Web Access servers are configured in a multi-server environment. For every
three iFolder servers, you must configure a Web Access server.
7.2 Key Benefits
The key benefits of a multi-server cluster setup are as follows:
This type of setup is beneficial to organizations in which users or storage requirements change
frequently.
This setup is useful to organizations that require high data availability. Every iFolder server
must be cluster-enabled for high data availability. However, Web Admin and Web Access do
not need to be cluster-enabled.
7.3 LDAP Configuration
The LDAP configuration information for a multi-server cluster setup is as follows:
iFolder supports the eDirectory
While configuring the iFolder server, use the LDAP Search Context option in YaST to ensure
that the master LDAP search group you specify is the superset of all the slaves. You can specify
all the slave search contexts, separated by commas. For example, o=org is the master LDAP
search group, and ou=KAR and ou=DL are the slave LDAP search groups. In this case, the
slave LDAP search groups should be the subset of the master LDAP search group. You can
either specify o=org as the LDAP search context or specify ou=KAR, ou=DL. In the latter case,
slaves have a specific search context or group containing users who can exclusively access the
slave server and store the data.
