[SOGo] Mail -> Add to Address Book with TB68 and Connector 68.0.0/1

[Ian McMichael]

I believe I have found a bug in either Thunderbird 68.* or the SOGo 
Connector 68.* related to adding new address book contacts. To reproduce 
this (which I have done so far on a variety Windows and Linux clients), 
do the following:


1. Open an e-mail from someone not currently in your address book.
2. Right-click the From field and select Add to Address Book.
3. Nothing happens!  (Previously a New Contact form, pre-populated,
   appeared as a dialog.)
4. Examine your address book and at the top (assuming sort by Name
   ascending) a completely blank entry appears.

Could someone else confirm this behaviour and I'll log a bug?  I just 
want to rule out that it is something site specific (or stupid!) I have 
done in configuring the Connector.


Cheers,

Yes, absolutely!  Started yesterday afternoon for me following a GMail

The popular belief is that it is related to this device admin deprecation:

I have had to switch several users to Cal/CardDAV to immediately

I see 4.1.1 release notes listed "fixed EAS provisioning support for

Thanks Christian, that confirms what I thought and discovered during

According to the developer documents at 
https://developer.thunderbird.net/add-ons/tb68#required-changes it is 
possible to host both TB 60 and 68 versions of extensions at 
addons.thunderbird.net and when upgraded TB68 will find the new 
version.  However this would need Inverse to upload the SOGo Connector, 
which is going to be difficult as it has to be updated manually for each 
installation.


Out of interest, how are you going to handle the upgrade?  Will you 
manually visit every SOGo client and upgrade machines for them or have I 
missed some obvious way of automating this?

[SOGo] Thunderbird 60 -> 68 Upgrade

[Ian McMichael]

With the release of TB 68.2.0 it is anticipated that the upgrade switch 
will soon be flipped and users on the Release channel using 60.9.0 will 
automatically receive it.  Following today's announcement of SOGo 4.1.0 
and SOGo Connector extension 68.0.0 I thought I would spend the day 
testing upgrade scenarios.


The summary is that I have yet to achieve a workable upgrade solution 
but would like to share what I have tried in the hope that others can 
benefit from it and that many minds can find the answer...?


Test platform: Windows 10 32-bit and Ubuntu 18.04LTS 64-bit (no 
differences experienced)


All tests began with TB 60.9.0 using SOGo Connector 60.0.2 and 
Integrator 60.0.2 configured for our site and able to successfully pull 
extension updates from an Apache web server via updates.php over a 
secure connection with a Let's Encrypt certificate.


My first test was to customise the new all-in-one SOGo connector 68.0.0 
for our site and update install.rdf to include support for TB 60:


    
  
    {3550f703-e582-4d05-9a08-453d09bdfdc6}
    60.0
    68.*
  
    

I then pushed this via update.php to the TB 60.9.0 installation, where 
it was accepted and loaded.  However testing found than new calendar and 
contact entries were not pushed to the SOGo server and the extension did 
not appear to function.  I have no idea if this is the intended 
behaviour and whether any backwards compatibility is expected?


My thinking was that if this worked the old SOGo Integrator 60.0.2 would 
be disabled during the TB 68.2.0 upgrade and the new SOGo Connector 
68.0.0 would take over its functionality.  This proved to be true as 
when I manually forced the TB 60 -> 68 upgrade everything started 
working again.


I then approached the problem from the other direction and wondered if I 
could get the SOGo Integrator 60.0.2 working on TB 68 for long enough to 
hit updates.php on our server and pull the new SOGo Connector 68.0.0 
from it.  To make the SOGo Integrator 60.0.2 compatible I needed to add 
a manifest.json file to its root (and bump the version in install.rdf so 
that I could "upgrade" existing TB 60 installations):


{
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "applications": {
    "gecko": {
  "id": "sogo-integra...@inverse.ca",
  "strict_min_version": "68.0"
    }
  },
  "name": "Inverse SOGo Integrator",
  "description": "A SOGo integration plugin for Thunderbird and Lightning",
  "version": "60.0.3.001",
  "legacy": {
    "type": "xul"
  }
}

The extension updated fine in TB 60.9.0 and I then proceeded to upgrade 
to TB 68.2.0.  Sadly, although the SOGo Integrator is left enabled and 
appears to be compatible, it made no attempt to contact our web server 
and post to updates.php to grab the new SOGo Connector 68.0.0.


I have spent a couple of hours reading about making legacy extension 
compatible with TB 68 and it appears this is probably not the route to 
take.  Does anyone have any other ideas of how to prepare for this 
upgrade?  How will Inverse achieve it?  I really want to avoid having to 
physically visit lots of machines to install a new extension.  Sadly 
adding extensions (and cleaning up the old, redundant SOGo Integrator) 
is not something I can expect non-technical end-users to realistically 
achieve.

This would certainly add a lot of flexibility to the way the SOGo

The other angle to consider is security.  I am amazed that Mozilla still 
allow an XPI to be modified after it is published by the developer.  In 
most cases these days a signature would be required at release and 
anything updating it subsequently would render it untrusted.  Let's face 
it the ideal behaviour of something nefarious is to edit the code of a 
plug-in!  Surely this is something that must code to Thunderbird and 
then the SOGo Integrator would be unusable anyway?

I needed to do this with Cisco/Linksys VoIP phones and could not find 
any solution built into SOGo.  Being stuck in a corner I cobbled 
together a small LDAP server, which I called SOGodap, that connects to 
the SOGo MySQL database and searches the address book tables (only 
supports the old multiple tables per user model).  It then listens as a 
very limited LDAP server for queries from the phones.  I've been running 
it as a Linux daemon on customer servers for over a year now without issue.


The code is basic and in Google Go language.  It lacks any form of 
security and all over the wire stuff is done in plain text, so only 
suitable for LAN use at best!  My intention was to open-source the code 
via Github but I am afraid I haven't yet and the documentation is 
non-existent.  Due to an office move next week I am unlikely to have any 
time to tidy it up for a little while.

In my past experience when this has happened to me I have been accessing

It is true that Thunderbird logs very little information and it is 
difficult to diagnose from the client end.

As promised, I am reporting back my findings with the Canonical Samba 
4.3.8 package now in the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS repository.


I created a key for the domain controller with the following:

openssl genrsa -out /var/lib/samba/private/tls/dc.example.net.key 2048
chown root:root  /var/lib/samba/private/tls/dc.example.net.key
chmod 600 /var/lib/samba/private/tls/dc.example.net.key

Then I created a certificate request with the common name equal to the 
FQDN of the domain controller (in this example, dc.example.net):


openssl req -new -key /var/lib/samba/private/tls/dc.example.net.key 
-out /var/lib/samba/private/tls/dc.example.net.csr


I then took the CSR over to https://www.startssl.com/ and got them to 
issue a free certificate for the domain controller.  I placed the 
certificate plus the StartCom Class 1 Intermediate (to form a 
certificate chain) in /var/lib/samba/private/tls/dc.example.net.pem.


I then added the following lines to /etc/samba/smb.conf:

tls enabled  = yes
tls keyfile  = tls/dc.example.net.key
tls certfile = tls/dc.example.net.pem
tls cafile   = /etc/ssl/certs/StartCom_Certification_Authority.pem
tls priority = SECURE128:-VERS-SSL3.0

Then restarted the Samba DC:

service samba-ad-dc restart

I then edited the line in /etc/sogo/sogo.conf to read:

hostname = ldap://dc.example.net/!StartTLS;

It is important to use the FQDN in this line and not an IP address. 
Next, restart SOGo:


service sogo restart

On pretty much all my servers SOGo just worked after this procedure and 
could authenticate securely against the new Samba 4.3.8 Active 
Directory.  On an old server (upgraded from 10.04 LTS) I found the 
following line was missing from /etc/ldap/ldap.conf:


TLS_CACERT  /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Adding this back and then restarting Samba seemed to fix everything.

Hope this helps someone else caught out by the sudden increase in LDAP 
security around Samba...

So the question remains, is it possible to use SOGo with SASLAuth. 


I have been busy reading about the changes Canonical plan to make to 
SAMBA on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS from next Tuesday (19th April) to assess the 
impact for our customers.  My understanding from the release notes 
(https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.3.8.html) of the version 
they are planning to upgrade to leads me to believe the LDAP 
authentication will continue to work if you use TLS.


From the SOGo manual, the syntax for this in sogo.conf is:

   hostname = ldap://127.0.0.1/!StartTLS;

(This assumes SAMBA is on the same box as SOGo but otherwise adjust the 
IP address/hostname.)


This should operate correctly with either "ldap server require strong 
auth = yes" (new default) or "ldap server require strong auth = 
allow_sasl_over_tls" in your smb.conf and provide the MITM protection.


I am not in a position to be able to test this today, so it would be 
great if you could and report back?

[SOGo] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS SOGo 2.3.7 to 3.0.0 Upgrade Report

[Ian McMichael]

This morning I have upgraded our production Ubuntu 14.04 server to SOGo 
3.0.0.  I thought I would share the experience and results in the hope 
that it help someone else?


To perform the upgrade I simply edited my old apt repository entry to read:

deb http://inverse.ca/ubuntu-v3 trusty trusty

After this I ran the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

About two minutes later SOGo v3.0.0 was running.  Absolutely nothing 
else needed editing or updating in my configuration, which uses a Samba 
4 LDAP directory as its user source.


The web interface was tested in Chrome 48 and Firefox 44 running on an 
Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit) desktop.  The interface all performed as expected 
with the following exceptions:


Incorrect e-mail displayed above the folder list: Bug 3473 

Move button missing in message list: Bug 3477 



I then tested via Chrome 47 on my Nexus 5 running Android 6.0.1. Wow!  
The old v2.x interface was unusable on a screen this size and required a 
number of work-arounds for the right-click, which never worked well on a 
touchscreen.  SOGo v3 is a joy to use on a small screen.  I can read 
everything and it is fluid, feeling about as close to a native Android 
app as you could hope.


Many, many thanks for a great release.

Found it!

You now have to log into the web interface and check the properties of 
each calendar and address book you want to use via ActiveSync. As of 
v2.3.3 it appears to respect the "Synchronize" check box in the 
properties of each object.  By simply selecting the ones needed and 
telling Android to "Sync Now" everything has re-appeared.


Might be worth a mention in the release notes to save others from the

I have removed the Exchange account from my Nexus 5 (running Android

re-added it.


Although all my personal calendars and contacts do appear, the shared 
calendars and contacts do not using v2.3.3.  No permissions have changed 
and I did a simple upgrade from v2.3.2.  I still have full write access 
to the calendars and address books I am expecting to see and they appear 
fine via the web interface.


E-mail folders shared with me synchronise fine over ActiveSync but a 
"sogo-tool manage-eas listfolders" confirms the only contacts, calendars 
and to-dos are my personal ones.


Any guidance much appreciated, as always, and thanks in advance.

At present you must have write access to calendars for them to be

Adi, many thanks for your thorough and most helpful reply.  I now

I use OCSP stapling on all my Apache servers and have for some time.  
All seems to be functioning correctly there but the StartCom StartSSL 
OCSP server is very unreliable of late.  If the server needs to verify 
the certificate (because the cached response has expired) and their 
server is unreachable it passes this information to the client.  
Thunderbird interprets this as an insecure connection and blocks access 
to the web server temporarily.  This then triggers the Lightning bug and 
calendars vanish.


Glad we got to the bottom of it.  Thank again for your enlightenment.

It looks like, in my case at least, this is the connection.  Anyone else 
able to verify this based on my last information and their Apache logs?


Hunting through Thunderbird I have now found in Preferences -> Advanced 
-> Certificates that there is a "Query OCSP responder servers to confirm 
the current validity of certificates" setting. It is enabled on my 
installation and I am going to disable it to see if it helps.  As OCSP 
stapling on my Apache (SOGo) server should do this verification, my 
belief is that having the client do it too is redundant.  Certainly 
Google have retired this feature from their Chrome browser, so they 
clearly don't see the value.


Any root cause reports from other users would be much appreciated to 
help prove my theory!

Is there any way to change this? 


Hi Marc,

Yes, there is a way to change this.  Tanmay (tchaud...@simscale.com) 
spotted what is going on back on 2nd May.  I was away on holiday last 
week but have tested his solution and it works fine for us.


In summary, the SOGo Connector does not employ any smart logic or 
communicate with the SOGo backend on the server to help it calculate the 
Cal/CardDAV URLs.  Instead it simply uses the username from the first 
IMAP account configured in Thunderbird and injects it into the URL.  If 
you have your IMAP account in Thunderbird configured to use a simple 
username you get something like:


https://www.example.net/SOGo/dav/username/Calendar/personal/

Whereas, if you log into your IMAP account using an email address 
(usern...@example.net) you get:


https://www.example.net/SOGo/dav/usern...@example.net/Calendar/personal/

You next need to check which of these SOGo is configured to expect in 
sogo.conf:


  SOGoUserSources = (
{
  type = ldap;
  CNFieldName = displayName;
  UIDFieldName = mail;
  MailFieldNames = ( mail, otherMailbox );
  baseDN = CN=Users,dc=example,dc=net;
  bindDN = CN=auth-sogo,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=net;
  bindFields = (sAMAccountName, mail);
  bindPassword = strong_password;
  canAuthenticate = YES;
  displayName = Global Address Book;
  hostname = ldap://127.0.0.1:389;
  filter = mail = '*';
  id = directory;
  isAddressBook = YES;
}

The key part here is the UIDFieldName.  If this is configured to expect 
a username, then log into IMAP with a username in Thunderbird.  If it is 
configured to expect an e-mail address, log into IMAP with an e-mail 
address in Thunderbird.


(An alternative way to check is to log into SOGo with a web browser, 
right-click Properties on your personal calendar.  On the Links to this 
Calendar tab you will see the CalDAV URL and be able to tell whether 
your system is configured for username or e-mail address.)


If your users aren't too worried about their local Thunderbird 
preferences, you can simply remove their profile and re-configure it 
using the correct style of username for your system.  Otherwise, the 
following procedure (a bit long winded) is working for me:


1. Start TB.
2. Go to Add-ons and disable both the SOGo Connector and SOGo
   Integrator extensions.
3. Restart TB.
4. Right-click your IMAP account in the tree-list on the left and
   select Settings.  Navigate to Server Settings below your account
   name and update the Username.
5. Move down to Outgoing Server (SMTP) at the bottom of the list and
   Edit your entry.  Update the Username field appropriately and click OK.
6. Close Account Settings by clicking OK.
7. Restart TB and log into your IMAP account when prompted (save
   password with Password Manager, if desired).
8. Click the Address Book toolbar button.  Delete all address books by
   right-clicking and selecting Delete.  Two will remain (local
   personal and collected addresses).
9. Open the Calendar and Unsubscribe from all calendars by
   right-clicking them.  (You may have to create a temporary new local
   calendar to allow the last one to be removed.)
10. Re-enable both the SOGO Connector and SOGO Integrator extensions.
11. Restart TB and log into your SOGo account when prompted (save
   password with Password Manager, if desired).

It is possible that after this procedure you will see two SOGo 
directories in Address Book after this has completed.  (In our case 
called Global Address Book from the displayName = Global Address Book 
line in sogo.conf.)  Work out which one is using the wrong URL by 
checking its Properties and delete it.  (Your personal address book 
title will probably vanish at this stage but do not panic!) Restart TB 
and everything will work normally.


I will update the bug with this information in a while.  I have been 
thinking lots about this as it has been causing me considerable pain on 
three customer sites.  While strictly not a bug (simply a Thunderbird 
mis-configuration) I think the connector should be smarter and ask the 
SOGo back-end for the URL of the resources. This way it would support 
changing the UIDFieldName style without the horrible local Thunderbird 
procedure above.  Does this sound like a sensible enhancement request?


P.S.  Although I have no connection with Inverse I suspect the team have 
been deep in OpenChange integration work for the last few weeks.  I'm 
sure they will catch up here and with the bug reports prior to the next 
release.


Hope this all helps?

This is not my experience.  I use both the Connector and Integrator on 
all three of our systems that experienced the problem.  It is entirely a 
username matching error, which could perhaps be documented?


Read my whole message and you will see that it is actually related to 
the use of username/e-mail address on the SOGo back-end, the format of 
which must match the username specified in the Thunderbird IMAP (e-mail) 
account.  When they match, everything works. Otherwise, lots of 404 
errors are logged by the SOGo back-end in response to incorrect 
Cal/CardDAV URLs generated by the Connector. In this case Thunderbird 
gets confused and the incorrect Calendar behaviour occurs.


As I suggest, perhaps an enhancement request against the Connector could 
make it behave more consistently by looking up the correct URL format on 
the back-end?  When you configure an iPhone or Android device with 
CalDAV this is what appears to happen.  Why not extend this to the 
Thunderbird Connector?

[SOGo] Password expiry with Samba4/AD

[Ian McMichael]

I have a 2.2.17a system using Samba 4's AD back-end for its 
authentication.  Over the past few days a number of user account 
passwords have expired.  Where these are also Windows users they are 
prompted to change their password at logon to their PC.  However, for 
web-only users, the SOGo logon just denies access now rather than 
prompting for a change.


Is this the expected behaviour?  I have tried with passwordPolicy = YES 
(it was originally set to NO) and this does not seem to make any 
difference.  The following is logged in sogo.log when a user with an 
expired password tries to connect:


Apr 29 10:56:37 sogod [860]: SOGoRootPage Login from '192.168.x.x' for 
user 'username' might not have worked - password policy: 65535 grace: 
-1  expire: -1  bound: 0


Users with unexpired passwords can log in fine with passwordPolicy set 
to either YES or NO.  SOGoPasswordChangeEnabled = YES is also set on the 
server and works fine when the password is still within its lifetime.


Any assistance much appreciated,


Ian.

Re: [SOGo] SOGo Integrator does not refresh Calendars when Creating Events in thunderbird

This was reported in another thread recently (a few weeks ago?)...

I would also consider it a bug - but it works correctly for me. When I
add an event in TB, I see it immediately on my Calendar.

What platform/versions (OS, Thunderbird, SOGo, Integrator, etc)?


I am experiencing this issue on three different SOGo installations at 
the moment.  All are 2.2.17a using the Connector/Integrator 31.0.1 and 
Thunderbird 31.6.0.


The differences are that I have tried Windows, Mac and Linux as the 
platform for Thunderbird.  I have also tested Lightning 3.3.2 and 3.3.3 
in all combinations on all platforms.  I can find no conclusive errors 
in either the SOGo or Thunderbird logs (see my comments on other threads 
about it).


The problem exhibits itself in two ways.  New events in Thunderbird do 
not appear immediately in the chosen calendar (even though they are 
written to the SOGo database fine).  Existing events cannot be 
opened/edited (this includes dismissing reminder notifications, which is 
*really* annoying for users).


The workaround (for everything apart from reminders) is to right-click 
the calendar you want to edit (or have just added a new event to) and 
select Reset Calendar Cache.  After a brief delay the new event will 
appear and/or you will be able to edit an existing entry.  Trying a 
second transaction requires this workaround to be used again or it also 
fails.


How can I collect any more information to help the developers fix this?  
Should I open a bug?  If so, how would you classify this as I am not 
even sure where the error exists at the moment?


Thanks in advance,

I thought the behaviour was as a result of renaming user accounts on my

[SOGo] Web Calendars and Thunderbird Integrator/Connector

https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/hendnaic1pa2r3oj8b87m08afg%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics),

When I next log into my account via Thunderbird with the Integrator and 
Connector installed, should it appear on my list of calendars? I could 
have sworn it used to, but today it doesn't!


If it is supposed to, should I be able to share it with another webmail

How can I debug the lack of appearance in my case, if it is not the

[SOGo] sogo-tool rename-user mess

[Ian McMichael]

I have recently changed the authentication of our SOGo instance 
(together with Dovecot and Postfix) to use e-mail addresses (in the form 
u...@example.net) instead of account names (in the form user).  
Sadly I made a mistake whilst doing this (which I have done before on 
other systems successfully).  I restarted the SOGo daemons and logged 
into a few accounts via webmail before running sogo-tool rename-user 
commands.


When I realised my mistake I shut everything down and immediately ran:

sogo-tool rename-user user u...@example.net

for each user on the system.

Sadly this was too late and I seem to have broken the settings for 
several users who now have duplicate entries for their calendar and 
contacts.


sogo-tool user-preferences get settings usera Contacts gives:

Contacts: {FolderShowAlarms: 
{us...@example.net:Contacts\/3E92-539F0080-1-5AAFDB80: 0, 
userb:Contacts\/personal: 0, us...@example.net:Contacts\/personal: 
0}, FolderDisplayNames: {us...@example.net:Contacts\/personal: 
Userb Address Book (Userb us...@example.net)}, DragHandleVertical: 
365, SubscribedFolders: [us...@example.net:Contacts\/personal]}


I have checked the folder_info table in MySQL and only one version of 
each address book/calendar actually exists and is correct with the new 
u...@example.net format in both the c_path and c_path2 columns.


Can anyone suggest an easy way for me to fix the mess I have made? I 
could unsubscribe from all the calendar/address books and stop sharing 
them.  This may help but wouldn't fix the personal ones. I'm afraid that 
if I try and edit them manually I will make a typo somewhere and cause a 
bigger mess!


All suggestions very gratefully received...

[SOGo] ActiveSync deleted messages always marked unread

[Ian McMichael]

I have been doing quite a bit of ActiveSync testing recently on Android 
devices and, together with the excellent new configuration documentation 
on ActiveSync settings, am getting quite close to having a really usable 
experience.


One thing I have noticed since ActiveSync was born to SOGo (and still 
occurs in 2.2.16) is that all messages I delete on my Android device end 
up being marked as unread in my Deleted/Trash/Wastebasket/Bin (pick your 
favourite folder name!). Even if they had been flagged as read for 
several days before I delete them, they still become new on an 
ActiveSync delete.


This is purely cosmetic, but it annoys me to see an unread count on my 
Deleted folder in Thunderbird.  Messages deleted via Thunderbird or the 
web interface do not exhibit this behaviour.  I'd like to log a bug but 
wanted to check first that it is not just me?  We use Dovecot 2.2.9 as 
our backend for mailbox storage, in case this is linked.


Anyone else noticed this?

Thanks Ludovic for listening to our lack of knowledge about ActiveSync

will put the suggestions into action on Monday and see how they go...


The main issue preventing me moving over to ActiveSync on a Nexus 5 
(stock Android 5 with GMail as the ActiveSync mail client) is the 
handling of plain text messages.  They are rendered in a variable pitch 
font with all the body text on a single line, which makes large messages 
(like daily LogWatch run against our servers) unreadable.  There is a 
bug (3055) open for this.  Any ideas if a fix might make it into 2.2.16 
as the bug has been very quiet so far?

I am experiencing the same thing on Android 5.0.1.  It looks like a

It would be great if somehow plain text messages could be rendered in a

Android allows this but it may well be a client side thing.   I guess it 
depends if there is any indication of content type in ActiveSync and how

[SOGo] Multiple Calendars with ActiveSync

[Ian McMichael]

I have just upgraded to SOGo v2.2.13 and set the
SOGoMaximumSyncResponseSize = 512 parameter to my sogo.conf.  I am using
the native Android v5.0.1 ActiveSync client on a Nexus 5 phone.  For the
first time I have managed to succeed in getting all my contacts,
calendar events and messages to sync successfully.

When I log into my account in the SOGo web interface I can see and
access six calendars.  One is my personal calendar.  Two belong to other
users on the system and the remaining three are public, web-based ICS
files.  If I run a sogo-tool manage-eas listfolders username
device command I can see that only two +vevent folders are listed. 
As a result only two calendars appear on my Android device.

I have tried viewing the properties of the calendars in webmail and
ticking the Synchronize box and adding a tag.  However, this has not
made any difference.  What else can I try?  Is there some way of
debugging the process that checks my access to the calendars to see what
might be causing them to fail to add ActiveSync folders?

Should calendar colours sync via ActiveSync?  Both the calendars are
appearing in a teal colour on my Android device at the moment.  Luckily
I've found an app called Set Calendar Colors in the Play Store, which
allows me to force them to change.  It would be nice if there was a way
to set them automatically and keep them in sync if I change them in the
web interface...

Otherwise thanks for the 2.2.13 release, which makes ActiveSync much
more usable.  Oh, and a Happy New Year to all at Inverse...

I'm working with Ludovic off-line on this one as requested...

 How wrong? What is the URL being generated? Show your SOGo Integrator
 customizations and your sogo.conf file.

I'm feeling rather silly now.  it turns out that the problem all along
was a mixture of errors in my Dovecot and AutoMX (used to auto-configure
Thunderbird, Outlook, etc. with mail account details) configurations. 
These were causing the original problem with the incorrect entries in
the shared dictionary.

I have reverted to using a simple username (sAMAccountName as it's
Active Directory) to identify my users uniquely in Dovecot.  My mistake
was returning mail as the attribute instead of sAMAccountName as the
user variable in my auth-ldap.conf.ext file (pass_attrs entry).  I've
also now switched the Dovecot auth_username_format parameter from %Lu to
%Ln.  These two changes have made shared folders work in SOGo and
Thunderbird without the need for a domain name in the shared dictionary
file.

The inconsistency in the SOGo Integrator occurred when I was using
domain extensions.  On a fresh Thunderbird profile it was generating
URLs with the correct user@domain in them for calendars but forgetting
the @domain part of the URL for contacts.  Although confusing, it is
working as designed.  The calendar URLs must be queried from the SOGo
database in some way, whereas the contact ones are constructed locally
using the IMAP username.  We use AutoMX to look-up e-mail addresses in
our Active Directory and publish autoconfig/discovery information for
Thunderbird.  This was still returning just the plain username and hence
the account username for the IMAP account in Thunderbird did not contain
the @domain part.

As we have reverted to using simple usernames, our AutoMX configuration
(returning sAMAccountName for the IMAP username) is now correct and the
SOGo Integrator and everything else is happy.

Sorry for the noise about this but hope it helps someone else in the
future?  It's a complex business integrating all these products but is
great when it eventually works!

Re: [SOGo] Dovecot shared mailbox dictionary via SOGo

[Ian McMichael]

Looks like I spoke too soon when I said everything worked!  It certainly
does for mail folders and calendars.  However, the changes I made appear to
have broken address books...

Since changing UIDFieldName = mail and running the rename-user, everything
appeared to work fine in the SOGo web UI.  In fact, I have loaded a lot of
test data into calendars and address books today via the web and all seemed
fine.  I then switched over to Thunderbird, installed the Integrator and
Connector and calendars work fine.  However, in address books the URL is
missing the @example.net (domain) part of the username.  This causes
address books to fail to load any content.  If I manually update the
properties in Thunderbird to the URL shown in the SOGo web UI (via the
domain extension) then the content appears fine.  My question is, where is
the Connector plug-in getting this incorrect URL when the user first
connects using Thunderbird?  I've had a look around the sogo tables in
MySQL but can't see anything obviously wrong...

ActiveSync also works fine for mail and calendar but fails for address
book.  No errors are produced but nothing is every sync'd.  I suspect it
has the same issue as the Thunderbird Connector and if I could resolve that
issue everything would be great.  Any pointers much appreciated

 I have never used the sogo-tool, sorry. But i am looking forward to
 your experiences with it on this topic.

OK, I now have shared folders (mostly) working between mailboxes.  In
the end I didn't go with Alex's suggestion of using
SOGoEnableDomainBasedUID as although I have multiple domains on my
system the idea is not to separate them.  Some users just prefer one
domain suffix to another as their primary.

My solution was to update UIDFieldName = mail in sogo.conf and restart
SOGo.  This caused the correct entries to be written to the Dovecot
shared mailbox dictionary.  After this both SOGo and Thunderbird were
able to see the shared mailboxes.  However, as expected, it broke each
user's Calendar, Address book, etc.  To fix these, I ran the following
for each user:

sogo-tool rename-user username usern...@example.net

I'd taken a backup of the MySQL database before starting but it was not
needed.  Simply running this for each user and then logging them off and
back on showed their calendars, etc. again.  It's worth noting that for
people using Cal/CardDAV (and possibly other access methods) the URL to
access the resources is also changed by this command.

During testing, I discovered that I could not create folders below a
user's INBOX that had been shared with me, despite having the
appropriate permission in the ACL.  To fix this, I needed to add
mail_shared_explicit_inbox = yes to Dovecot's configuration and restart
Dovecot.  This then shows the INBOX folder below the shared user and
allows sub-folders to be created successfully.

The only part that doesn't work now is deleting shared sub-folders. 
Again, it's not a permission thing.  Dovecot gets confused in trying to
move the sub-folder to my personal Trash.  Because the entry is in a
shared index for the original folder and needs to be in my personal
index for the deleted version, it gets itself in a knot.  The
work-around appears to be to turn off the functionality of Trash and
delete mails/folders immediately.  I consider this too dangerous and so
will be avoiding the recommendation!  Here's a Dovecot mailing list
thread about the issue:

   
http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Problem-with-INDEXes-and-deleting-shared-folders-td45844.html

As far as I can tell this is not fixed in any way in any version of
Dovecot so far.  I'd be interested to hear from anyone that has it working?

Hope this all saves someone else some time...

Hi Francis,

This is really great news.  I'm afraid (like many others who have
replied) I'm a techie and so can produce some (at times!) beautiful code
but leave pretty UIs to others!

My customers are keen to use SOGo on a touchscreen device.  Clearly the
screen resolution (and real-estate, if you like the American term?!)
vary between devices, so it would be good to keep that as flexible as
possible.  I have many requests to skin SOGo into corporate colours to
match other company sites, so a skin pack or customisable stylesheet
would be very helpful in this respect.  The ability to customise the
main logo (easily) and the favourite/bookmark icon would be great too.

So, although I'm probably not of much assistance, hopefully these
thoughts will help with design goals?

Thanks for all your excellent work to date.

[SOGo] Dovecot shared mailbox dictionary via SOGo

[Ian McMichael]

It's Friday afternoon and 13th!  My brain is starting to ache after
spending the morning trying to diagnose an issue with shared mailboxes
using SOGo 2.2.5 and Dovecot 2.2.9 on a new server build under Ubuntu
14.04 LTS.  So, I thought I would see if anyone on the list can assist me?

I've narrowed the problem down to the username being inserted by SOGo
into my shared dictionary file.  When I add an entry via the SOGo web UI
I get the following style of line written:

shared/shared-boxes/user/usera/us...@example.net
1

However, if I use the IMAP ACL extension for Thunderbird and do the same
thing it yields:

shared/shared-boxes/user/us...@example.net/us...@example.net
1

With the domain name specified in both entries everything works fine in
both Thunderbird and the SOGo web UI.

So, I guess my question is, where does SOGo get the username of the
person I'm sharing a mail folder with?  We're using a Samba 4 Active
Directory as the source for users and as far as I can tell everything
else is working fine.  By turning mail_debug on in Dovecot I can see
that the ACL plugin is indeed checking for the full e-mail address of
the user, rather than just their username.

My guess would be to change UIDFieldName in sogo.conf from it's current
value of sAMAccountName to mail?  However, my understanding is that
would break all calendars and addressbooks in the database as they then
wouldn't be associated with their owners.  Is there a way to fix this if
I need to do it?

Thanks in advance for any assistance...

Thanks very much Alex, I'll give that a go.  I've loaded test data into

OpenLDAP rather than Samba AD.  So, if I wanted to keep this data as a
test is there a way?

I've just had a look at the sogo-tool rename function.  Does this do
what I need?  When I come to running it for real, is it safe or should I
take a backup of each user before running it?

 Does an letter a means Alfa and letter b means Beta?

No, the a is the first revision to 2.0.5.  (Like the first hot-fix.) 
They are issued if problems are found in the original release that
require minor fixes.

In this case 2.0.5a is the latest stable release.  The next will
(likely) be 2.0.6 and may or may not have a, b, c fixes released to it
depending on release quality.

Hope this helps?

As the others said, we only run production platforms on LTS releases. 
As long as there are packages for the Canonical supported LTS releases
then we're quite happy for you to skip the 3 intermediate ones...

I have certainly tried this with one of my customers and in Help -

Thanks for sharing that.  It is a distribution/remix of Ubuntu I'd not 
come across before.  I'll bring an instance up in a VM at some stage and 
take a closer look as it looks interesting.


In the meantime, does SOGo password changing work for you with Zentyal?  
By this I mean, if you enable users to change their passwords via the 
SOGo web interface does their SAMBA password stay in sync?


I might be able to pick some code out of the Zentyal release and find 
out how they keep their LDAP passwords synchronised if it works for you.

I take it from the lack of responses I have received that it currently

surprised no-one else has a requirement for this and would be interested 
to know how others synchronise SAMBA passwords with SOGo accounts via LDAP?


I have a rare few spare hours in the coming weeks.  I've not developed 
in Objective C before but have written extensively in C++ and Java on a 
variety of platforms.  I am hoping I can write and submit a patch that 
will allow the password change mechanism to be set via a configuration 
parameter.


Can anyone give me heads-up on where to start looking in the current 
source to make these changes?  It would be really appreciated and I will 
submit the results of my work back to the community.


Thanks in advance,

Dovecot does support ACLs and can be used successfully with SOGo to share

Two caveats:

1. You'll need Dovecot 2.0 to handle group ACLs properly. They are broken in
1.2.

2. Mail storage (e.g. Maildir) permissions will have to be set to allow
Dovecot to access the shared folders.


After adding the private and shared namespaces to my Dovecot 
configuration (in addition to the ACL plugin configuration, which I had 
already completed) everything appears to work fine.  I'm running Dovecot 
1.2.9 but don't have any need for group ACLs in a reasonably small 
environment, so everything is good.


Thanks to everyone for their assistance.

[SOGo] Password change using LDAP EXOP

[Ian McMichael]

I have recently completed a migration from Lotus Notes to SOGo, using 
OpenLDAP, Dovecot and MySQL as the backends. Notes was Windows based and 
I wanted to take the opportunity to migrate to SAMBA and integrate it to 
the LDAP DIT at the same time.


Now the migration is complete, I would like users to be able to change 
their passwords. I enabled SOGoPasswordChangeEnabled and tested a 
password change via preferences in the SOGo web interface. It would 
appear this does an LDAP MODIFY operation on the userPassword attribute.


To keep the SAMBA and Linux passwords in sync, I have found this great 
overlay for OpenLDAP:


http://www.opinsys.fi/en/smbkrb5pwd-password-syncing-for-openldap-mit-kerberos-and-samba

However, it relies on the password being changed by an LDAP EXOP 
operation. PAM can do this for Linux and SAMBA can be configured to 
change both its password attributes and userPassword. So, now I am just 
stuck with the SOGo web interface breaking the synchronisation.


Is there a way to get SOGo to issue an EXOP to change the password so 
that the overlay can be called in OpenLDAP? Are there any other hooks 
into the password change process I could use to execute something like 
smbldap-passwd to do the job instead?


Does anyone else synchronise SOGo and SAMBA passwords via their LDAP 
directory? If so, how have you achieved this?

Hi Ian

Nice to see another UK user of SOGo ! ;-)

Firstly, sharing of email folders and sharing of calendars is 
completely different. I believe the sharing of mailboxes is done at 
the mail server end, ie in your dovecot config. (i do not use this so 
can't help too much here)


You should definitely be able to share calendars in the way you have 
described though. The permissions side of things can be confusing; 
have you read the FAQ to fully understand it ? 
http://www.sogo.nu/english/nc/support/faq/article/what-are-all-those-options-for-calendar-sharing-1.html


You can also setup further logging in sogo which might help, again 
this is in the FAQ and the manual


Hope this helps

Hi Julian,

Yes, us UK users need to stick together so thanks very much for your 
assistance.


I have a rather embarrassing admission to make after reading the FAQ and 
realising I'd not seen those settings anywhere.  I failed to realise 
that after adding someone to share a calendar you had to double-click 
their name in the list and grant them further permissions!  Oddly, 
having done that now everything works as it should with calendar 
delegation - oops, sorry! ;-)


Mail still doesn't work but as you say that is likely a Dovecot issue, 
which I will pursue with others on the list who run it.


Thanks again,

Yes, my understanding is that it shouldn't be an issue as Dovecot has a 
plugin to support IMAP ACLs, which I have read all about ( 
http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL) and configured. I missed the shared 
namespace article and so suspect this is the issue.


I will read through the link you sent and ensure I have everything up

[SOGo] Assistance with delegated e-mail and calendars not appearing

[Ian McMichael]

I have a fairly new installation of SOGo using Dovecot, OpenLDAP and 
MySQL as the backends on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It was installed on 1.3.8b 
and upgraded (without any issues) to 1.3.9 upon its release in the 
Debian repositories.


I want to enable certain users to view the e-mail of others and to 
create a shared calendar, owned by one user but able to be updated by 
many. Most of the users' access is via the SOGo web interface, so this 
is my first area of interest.


I have logged on as UserA and shared my e-mail with UserB. I have also 
created a new calendar for UserA and shared this with UserB. However 
when UserB logs in, despite receiving e-mails to say they now have 
things shared by UserA, nothing extra displays in their folder tree for 
e-mail or calendar list.


I have read the manual several times over the past couple of weeks and 
again this morning to see if there was any parameter I had overlooked 
that could just turn this functionality off. A week or two back I fixed 
an issue in the Dovecot configuration where the shared folder list could 
not be created due to a permission error. However, this should not 
impact calendars as I believe they are stored in MySQL.


The logs don't appear to give any clues. I would really appreciate it if 
someone could help me debug (and hopefully fix!) this?


Thanks in advance,

[SOGo] Changing /SOGo suffix in URL

[Ian McMichael]

Hi,

Firstly I'd like to say thanks for what looks like a very flexible 
product.  I have only discovered SOGo in the last week or so after 
battling with OBM for some months.  I have to say it looks far more 
professional and the mailing list is much more active.


I have an installation of v1.3.8b on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS.  I have been 
working on an LDAP and e-mail infrastructure to support all the 
requirements and am almost complete.  I would now like to deploy a test 
instance and for the simplicity of the end-users replace the existing 
URL of:


https://www.example.com/webmail

with the new SOGo installation.  The Apache server is already serving 
other products via www and a couple of other (non-secure) name based 
virtual sites.


What is the best way to change the /SOGo suffix used to /webmail?  I 
presumably could just edit /etc/apache/conf.d/SOGo.conf and update some 
of the alias and proxy statements.  However, would this be undone by the 
next update?


I would also like to force the traffic over this URL to be secure.  
Should I add that to the SOGo.conf as well or is it better placed elsewhere?


Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom,
