C.1 Updating the Admin Portal TLS Certificate

If the FileFly Admin Portal was configured for secured remote access (HTTPS) at install time, the webserver TLS certificate may be updated using the following procedure:

Go to C:\Program Files\Caringo FileFly\AdminTools\
Run Update Webserver Certificate
Provide a PKCS#12 certificate and private key pair

Important: the new certificate MUST appropriately match the original Admin Portal FQDN specified at install time.

C.2 Password Reset

Normally, the administration password is changed on the ‘Settings’ page as needed – see §5.10 .

However, should the system administrator forget the username or password entirely, the credentials may be reset as follows:

Go to C:\Program Files\Caringo FileFly\AdminTools\
Run Reset Web Password
Follow the instructions to provide new credentials

Note: if FileFly Admin Portal has been configured to use LDAP for authentication (e.g. to use Active Directory login), then passwords should be changed / reset by the directory administrator – this section applies only to local credentials configured during installation.

C.3 Authentication with Active Directory

Active Directory authentication is configured during installation of FileFly Tools.

C.4 Authentication with eDirectory

Installing the CA Certificate

Export the LDAP server’s SSL CertificateDNS object’s Trusted Root Certificate (without the private key) in Base64 format to a file
Install the certificate in the Local Computer’s Trusted Root Certification Authorities store

Configuring FileFly Admin Portal

In a text editor, open C:\Program Files\Caringo FileFly\AdminTools\Tomcat\conf\server.xml
- Follow the instructions in the server.xml comments to configure the JNDIRealm for eDirectory
Restart the ‘Caringo FileFly Webapps’ service
