[SOGo] Evaluating SOGo - a few questions
Hi together! I am working for an IT service provider in eastern Switzerland. Currently we are evaluating group ware solutions for small to middle size office (3-50 employees). SOGo looks very promising from a technical perspective but also because of the native Outlook support. As a matter of fact good support for Outlook is mandatory among our customers. I have played around a bit and have some questions which might help us in our decision: 1. SOGo itself seems to be solid and easy to deploy if you have a working email setup. Our own experiences so far are very good and I know of very big installations as at University of Konstanz and other German universities which prove that it can handle huge amounts of users and scales well. But unfortunately OpenChange and Samba4 seem to be at least less straightforward. We tried compiling them and SOGo from different source versions, compiling them and using the prebuilt packages for SOGo and using the inverse packages for samba as well as SOGo. I never got the Outlook integration to work properly. As I don't have many experiences with these softwares components it's hard to tell if it's due to misconfiguration or due to a not working combination of package versions or other side effects. Which is the preferred way to install SOGo+Samba4+OpenChange? OS is flexible, we would prefer Debian 7 but we use Ubuntu 12.04 for SOGo at the moment because it seems better supported. RHEL6 is also well known here. 2. The OpenChange Cookbook suggest to install an OpenLDAP server? What's the benefit of that compared to using the Samba4 directory? It seems to be redundant and adds complexity. 3. Many tutorials suggest that you select Always ask for credentials in the Outlook configuration options for the Exchange connection. With ZEG it seems to work without that option and it would be kind of a show stopper the user had to handle that credential dialog every time she starts Outlook. For which scenarios is this option necessary and what are the drawbacks of not selecting it? 4. What options for professional support are there? Is it always on a per need base or are there any support or licensing plans? 5. Although it is our first experience with Samba4 it seems promising and the combination of a Samba4 domain and SOGo/OpenChange as an Exchange replacement seems to be a great concept for small businesses. Is it possible for the OpenChange server to join an existing Samba4 domain and use its directory? Any experiences with that setup? 6. And in general: Who is using SOGo/OpenChange in production installations up to 50 users? I have no doubt about SOGo being solid and scalable but there seem to be less installations of OpenChange. Iabsis in France seem to do it. It would be of great help if somebody would share their experiences so we can be confident about the stability of the solution. I am looking forward to working with your software. Again, it seems to be a great product. I hope it meets our requirement to offering a stable Outlook integration. Kind regards Michael -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
Re: [SOGo] Problem while contacting sogo server
Thanks Ludovic ! Yes .. it was the problem ... So I have copied the directory WebServerResources from sogo sources... in /usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo But I don't understand why the make install has not done it ... However all seems to work well now ... ;-) Thanks to all for your help !! Last remarks : - sogo package for ubuntu 12.04 was not working for me - I would be great to have a 32bits version for ZEG ;-) .. But I know it takes time to do it and then, to maintain Cheers Stéphane Le 24/06/2013 19:08, Ludovic Marcotte a écrit : On 2013-06-24 7:27 AM, Stéphane PERON wrote: Any idea ?

[SOGo] Appologies !
Hi Ludovic Marcotte. Before you delete this account, I just wanted to say this - My sincere apologies, I did not intent to insult you and your team in any way but unfortunately I did not get your Zeg to work, no fault on your end. Just my lack of understanding the problem that prevented outlook from staying connected to the ZEG. All of the best then ( okay now you may delete this one) Regards, Ray Really Ludovic? Terminating his subscription? That's seems a bit harsh. I empathized with Raymond and thought his post was rather humorous!

[SOGo] Very basic installation
Greetings, I've followed the OpenChange Cookbook using a VM that I could revert back to previous snapshots, taking a snapshot every time I successfully completed a significant step. BTW, successfully is defined as passing the validation checks defined for that step. This is all Good Stuff! :-) That said, what I would really like to get running is the combination of Samba4, OpenChange, and Dovecot. I know this doesn't provide all the neat features of SOGo/Sope but the environment I would like to duplicate is a 2003 AD with rich Outlook client access for email only; no calendar, tasks, or other features. Given that, is it still necessary to install all of the other software or can I get by with just those three components? The docs and diagrams are not real clear on that topic. Later, if/when that's running, I would continue to work on the full config that includes SOGo and Sope. Last question. I have seen questions about whether or not LDAP was required in addition to Samba4 but have never seen an answer. Thanx, Garth -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
[SOGo] SOGo and LDAP (Adress books)
Hi, I'm using SOGo 2.0.6, running on latest CentOS 6. I want to use the LDAP adressbook: my problem: I configured LDAP correctly and I can find contacts, but don't use them. I think SOGo needs spezific LDAP objectClasses? (InetOrgPerson and posixAccount?) When I create a new contact in SOGo in an LDAP Adressbook, it works fine, but all LDAP Entrys were created with a numeric iid and cn Attribute. Is it possible to change SOGo spezific objectClasses and Attributes in the source code? Where I can find the right sources (on my centos server)?

Re: [SOGo] Problem with outlook and ZEG - Need help please!
Hi , I had the same problem with XP/OutLook2010/ZEG2.0.5. As stated in the Documentation http://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGo%20Native%20Microsoft%20Outlook%20Configuration.pdf When you add the account , You have to Go in the settings : Click on More Settings and ignore the warning, if any, about Exchange being offline by clicking on Cancel ❏ From the Security tab, enable Always prompt for user name and password I don't know why without this option Outlook think that the server is offline, is there any bug request link to this behaviour ? -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
[SOGo] Openchange and Outlook
Hi all I am not sure if this is the right forum, but i give it a try. My problem is more in regards to openchange. The backend is an ubuntu 12.04 server with a Samba, openchange, sogo installation followed the manual from http://iabsis.com/EN/article/35/Installation-de-Samba4-et-Openchange-sur-un-serveur-Debian-ou-Ubuntu [1] I don't want to use the igestis tool, so I created a Samba4 user, an openchange user and provided this user with a mailbox. On my notebook I have Win8 64 bit with outlook 2013 installed. Whenever I try to connect to the openchange server it doesn't work. The weird thing is, that when I try rpc in the webbrowser as described in the manual it only works with Netscape but not with IE. I have no idea what went wrong, that is the reason why I don't post any configs or logs, because I have no idea where to look at. I would appreciate any hint.

Hi, 2013/6/25 raymondpotgie...@telkomsa.net ** I have done all of that... And when you send your first test mail outlook disconnects. When you send email using the web interface from sogo1 to sogo2 , do you get any error ? -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
Re: [SOGo] Openchange and Outlook
Ludovic you surely know the tutorial written by Olivier Bitsch on the
iabsis website. There is a chapter using RPC to connect outlook to the
openchange server. IT is like the Exchange Anywhere function from the
Exchange server. I am not talking about accessing SOGo's web interface.
To call http://server.ip/rpc/rpcproxy.dll [5] is meant to test the rpc
proxy functionality. And as I already said, when connecting with firefox
everything worked but IE fails all the times.

What do you mean?
If you want to use the SOGo's web interface, just use
http{s}://your_server_name/SOGo
RPC over HTTP is not meant to be used from a web browser, but from Outlook.

If the machine is joined to the domain and the AD username/password is the same as the one required for Outlook, password prompt won't be required. 4. What options for professional support are there? Is it always on a per need base or are there any support or licensing plans? It depends on what kind of support you're looking for. Free support is offered on this mailing list, we well as commercial support packages from sogo.nu. 5.

Is it possible for the OpenChange server to join an existing Samba4 domain and use its directory? Any experiences with that setup? It is possible but we haven't yet tested it.

[SOGo] Training
G'day guys I've been following SOGo for awhile now, used the ZEG and played with the tutorial that Oliver has kindly made available. My question is I have access to a vast amount of small businesses that I currently support and would love to support in the area of an Exchange alternative. But my reluctance is that I don't understand SOGo, OpenChange, Dovecot, Samba4, Sope, etc. I was wondering if anyone knew or could tell me where I could get training in this area. Currently I have a basic understanding of Linux, but I'm looking for a cutting edge education. The local education places only support Samba3 which annoys me to no end. So in a nutshell, if I were to do some courses (online preferably) what is the recommendation? Also I just want to say brilliant venture, I love Linux so keep up the great work. -- */Regards,/* */Steven Swarts/* -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
