Environment

Novell iFolder 3.7

Situation

If iFolder needs to be reinstalled on a server, it's possible that the iFolder client will no longer connect

Resolution

If the iFolder server needs to be reinstalled on an OES2SP1 server, the client datastore may need to be removed and the client restarted before the client will connect to the newly rebuilt iFolder server.
 
To do this:
1.  First exit completely out of the iFolder client
2.  In WindowsXP, delete the Documents and settings\user\application data\simias folder (other versions of windows should have a similar path)
3.  Restart the iFolder client
4.  Locally reconfigure the iFolders that had previously been configured.
