Environment

Situation

Make sure that you defined correct ifolder server settings in NSadmin.
Make sure that following Authentication Features are checked:
eMail Address Names
Dotted Names

- open C1
- create in C1 in desired context the user with following name:
test@qwertyuiopasdfghjkl.com
there are 19 characters between "@" and ".com"
- enable this user for iFolder use
- login with standard iFolder client to your ifolder server
- set up passphrase
- sync some files
- login with this user account to the Netstorage
- go to ifolder directory
- type your passphrase twice, logout, close browser
- login to NS, open iFolder
