Resolution

Update/Refresh the iFolder servers LDAP configuration by doing the following:

At the iFolder server terminal, go to /opt/novell/ifolder3/bin
Enter the following command: ./simias-server-setup --updateLdap

*note* The case in the above command is required.

Additional Information

Most common cause for this is when the LDAP certificate is changed. iFolder does not dynamically update the LDAP certificate, so it needs to be re-imported.
