The files in your local Novell® iFolder® directory reside on your workstation in clear text and on the iFolder server in encrypted text. To ensure security and privacy during transmission and storage, iFolder can encrypt the files, using the encryption passphrase you specified when you installed the iFolder client.
Encryption occurs before the files leave your workstation to travel securely across an Internet or network connection to be uploaded to, and stored on, the iFolder server. The files remain encrypted on the iFolder Server and during downloads to your workstations. The iFolder client decrypts the downloaded files as they arrive on your local workstations.
After you enter your iFolder login password, a Get Passphrase dialog box opens where you can enter your encryption passphrase.
If you choose, iFolder can remember your passphrase. The next time you begin the login process, this passphrase exchange is done automatically; no dialog box will appear.
To enable or disable the automatic passphrase exchange:
Log in to your iFolder account.
Right-click the iFolder icon in your system tray.
Click Account Information > Preferences.
Check or uncheck the Remember Passphrase check box, then click Apply to activate your selection.
You must be logged in to make this change to your iFolder account.
