Re: [SOGo] Shared Calendars via Active Sync

[Rolf Schirmacher]

Hi Philippe,

thanks for the tip - works well for me now, too.

I just have one remaining issue:

As I use sogo just as a small family-wide installation I currenly only 
have 4 users and myself declared as superuser / admin within my sogo.conf
As a result, I can administrate the accounts / calendars of all the 
other 3 family members, but not mine through the web interface, so I 
cannot give them access to my calendar. The search function on the web 
interface simply does not find myself... neither my user name nor the 
family name or whatever. It works well for all the others though...


Thanks in advance for any hint,

Rolf

 Hi everyone,


 I am testing SOGo v3.1 and created a user with a test calendar.
 Shared that calendar to another user and subscribed the user to 
the

 shared calendar.


 On the second user's SOGo web interface the shared calendar 
displays

 and works fine. Setting up the calendar in Thunderbird with DAV
 works 100%. When setting up Active Sync (Outlook 2016 and 
iPhone 5)

 the shared calendar is not displayed as it did when the same was
 done with SOGo v2.3.x


 I have a stock standard setup from packages installed via yum on
 CentOS 7.


 Nothing concerning the calendar are displayed in the logs. Any 
hints

 where I might start looking, perhaps a setting that needs to be
 enabled in sogo.conf?


 Thanks for any assistance,


 Regards

Re: [SOGo] External Account / Fetchmail

[Rolf Schirmacher]

Not sure wheteher there is any "best way"...

dovecot seems to be quite popular (see the number of mails here that 
mention it, for example) as an IMAP server / for personal in-boxes. And 
of course you need some SMTP server - exim is the current default choice 
at debian, if that might serve as an indication.


Anyway, there is no "one fits all" here and a selection will surely 
depend on the pre-existing infrastructure, preferred OS (i.e. 
installation & maintenance support via OS), specific requirements, ...


For me personally, running a small home system (half a dozend of users), 
I decided to go with debian first, then decided to go with an internal 
IMAP server (to offload mail provider mailbox sizes, pulling mail off 
there via fetchmail and store / serve locally), experimented with 
calendarserver, was not happy and finally found SOGo (and am very 
satisfied), so now I have a server running debian wheezy, dovecot, exim 
kerberos & ldap and SOGo - still missing a way to handle the user 
authentification via kerberos also, but that is a different story (and 
not sure whether I would really want that as the kerberos passwords 
would then need to be distributed on all the mobile devices, etc. 
Multiple accounts with independent account and password management does 
also have benefits).


So, even if I cannot give you "the" perferct solution, hopefully this 
helps to understand how the infrastructure web miight look like and what 
might be reasons to come up with deployment decisions.


Best regards,

Rolf

Zentyal looks like it uses openchange with sogo. But i might be

is the best way to install ubuntu and then the SELINUX and iredmail or 
zentyal with sogo ?


What is the smartest way ? If not the smartest way, the best pairing

You can try iRedMail: http://www.iredmail.org/
The latest iRedMail-0.9.0 integrates SOGo groupware. :)

Zhang we should admin ... the integration could be improved ;)

Good work anyway

Re: [SOGo] Recommended setup?

[Rolf Schirmacher]

The key point with authentication is the authentication of your users - 
mail & calendar users, who do not need to have user accounts on your 
server. The authentication information for your users need to be stored 
in LDAP or SQL at the moment - unfortunately, from my perspective, but 
that is how it is.


On the other side, SOGo needs to authenticate itself to be a legitimate 
user for the database - that is the authentication you describe below. 
This is what need to be arranged for within your system and is agnostic 
to your (potentially non-system) users.


So, for my example (family use as well, however, with a handful of linux 
machines, so I did set up LDAP and Kerberos for authentification plus a 
file / data server to have a unified experience throughout all the 
machines), I needed to duplicate my Kerberos users within the SQL 
database, including their passwords. Now, if some user might decide to 
change his password in Kerberos, a separate change in SOGo would be 
required - a real nightmare, but luckily my family is not that keen on 
changing passwords...


I would strongly prefer to have a kerberized SOGo in this context - not 
sure, whether samba 4 would lead to some nicely integrated solution (my 
set-up is pre-samba4 and I do not have any Windows machines to deal with).


Hope this helps,

Rolf

Thanks ... but I don't understand this yet. Sorry for being a complete 
newbie

and asking so dumb questions:

What do you mean with "using SQL for authentication"? A SQL database 
is something
for storing data and you need to authenticate in order to _access_ a 
SQL database ...


I understand that SOGo needs a SQL database for storing calendar 
entries and

address book content ...

I have read the SOGo manual but it explains almost nothing. No 
description of

the architecture, how all those moving parts fit together ... nothing.

Is there hope for someone like me to find a way to understand how SOGo 
works
and how I can use it? I should say that I am (in my job) a IBM Domino 
expert
for 20 years and an expert for many other products, too. But I really 
have a
problem getting a grip on products like SOGo when there is almost no 
documentation
and only a group of some experts (those who wrote it ...) who only 
speak in

some chinese dialect :-) about their product. I just don't have the time
to spend many hours analyzing the source code in order to understand how
it works ... I hope you understand what I mean. I am eager to learn 
something

new and look beyond what I do in my job but I must be able to understand
a product from an admin's point of view within a (very) few hours.

Re: [SOGo] Updated Wheezy Packages

[Rolf Schirmacher]

Hello Ludovic,

Thanks for all your effort.

Unfortunately, Samba from backports installs an updated version of 
libldb1 (1.1.17, to be exact) which is not compatible with sssd 
(requiring 1.1.6). So, this bug http://www.sogo.nu/bugs/view.php?id=2701 
still remains open, even if it now seems to be debian's fault... 
inconsistency with sssd and backports on wheezy.


Do you know whom to address best in this case?

Thanks,

Rolf

Hello,

You can now get Wheezy packages for SOGo v2.2.10 (trunk) with 
up-to-date OpenChange v2.2 packages and Samba v4.1.11.


For Samba and its dependancies, use the Wheezy backports: 
http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/


For the latest version of OpenChange and SOGo, use our Wheezy nightly 
builds: 
http://www.sogo.nu/english/nc/support/faq/article/how-to-install-sogo-on-debian.html


Normally, to install everything (after adjusting your APT sources 
list), you should only have to do:


% apt-get install sogo sogo-openchange samba

And then, after removing /etc/samba/smb.conf, follow the cookbook for 
now: http://openchange.org/cookbook/configuring.html


Thanks

ps. The 32-bit version is half-baked right now, it'll be fixed tomorrow.

Re: Re: [SOGo] sogo apt repository breaking sssd on wheezy (libldb1)

[Rolf Schirmacher]

Hello all,

as we had a power outage yesterday, my server did a hard reboot. As a result,
this effect did suddenly show up. It did not do so after installation of
libldb1 1.1.13-1 as the sssd was not restarted at that time... I guess this
might be a little time bomb ticking unnoticed on some more installations.

My system: Debian Wheezy.

So, is there any recommended solution yet? What side effects are to be
expected after downgrading libldb1?

Will a suitably updated/recompiled sssd be made available through the regular
sogo repository? That would probably be the most simple solution to fix the
issue, at least for everyone regularily updating from that source. samba might
be affected as well - not sure about other packages making use of libldb1
though.

I would prefer a simple solution without private recompile, just running SOGo
on a family home server, not a full blown datacentre.And - as above - I guess
there are many servers "at risk" to become unreachable (at least through sssd)
out in the wild, that are not aware of the issue due to missing reboot.

Thanks in advance for any hint,

Rolf
