[SOGo] SOGO Outlook / Thunderbird CalDav / CardDav / ActiveSync Videos
Hello all. I recently hired a developer from Upwork.com by the name of Daniel Bareiro to help figure out how this integration of SOGo worked with Outlook and Thunderbird. He was instrumental on my getting my head around it and I recommend him to other members of this group if anyone needs help with any aspect of SOGo Of immediate value to the group: I have created 3 videos which will help others accomplish this.

Guys, Is it possible to work with sogo like with Microsoft AD, to have in outlook: 1. Callendars available to everybody 2. Rooms 3.

Hi, Is it possible to configure sogo to work with outlook like exchange server, to have: 1. LDAP users connection - all users visible in outlook 2.

[SOGo] sogo outlook connectoin issues
Hey guys and girls!
I've been trying to install sogo with openchange for 3 weeks now, but
without luck so far.
I hope that someone could help me.
A few words to my environment:
I'm on a vbox with ubuntu 12.04.04 running on a windows server 2008 R2
Sp1 AD.
what is running:
samba joined to AD as a DC with bind9_DLZ - ok. repl is ok, fsmo schema
is transfered. we are not master but uptades are enabled
openchange is provisioned, openchangedb is provisioned, users from the
samba user list are created within openchange. because I'm not sure if
we have trust between imap and openchange I created the passwrod files
in /var/lib/samba/private/%username/password.
dovecot with postfix is running over ldap. I can send and receive mails.
sogo web with https on port 8843 and 443 with a startssl cert is
working. userauth runs also over ldap. -working
Iphone, thunderbird connection to caldav, carddav and email is working best.
The one thing which is not working is outlook.
I can't connect to the server, although I have set
_autodiscover._tc.gw.myserver.com as SRV in my tcp table on the server,
a cname alias for autodiscover pointing to gw.myserver.com in my
domainISP DNS-Settings and a hosts entry for autodiscover on the
external address on the client.
Port 135 is opened and listening.
Openchange log only show similar entries, like that:
INFO [openchange.web.auth.NTLMAuthHandler] [worker 7] client did not
pass auth cookie
I suppose it's something within my apache conf, and/or the dns settings.
active sync isn't working also. When I'm trying to connect with active
sync outlook is showing that autodiscover.mydomain.com has a wrong name
for that certificate. (cert issue)The certificate i have is only for
mydomain.com and gw.mydomain.com (which is my mail,sogo-server),
mydomain.com is the ad.

RPC isn't encrypted or secured in any way. Believe me you don't want to open that Port to the internet. What you could do is adding a VPN between your home user or branch office and your SOGo server. But that means you can't use Outlook from public machines e.g. in internet cafes, as you must install and configure this VPN first. Hope that clarified it a bit.

RE: [SOGo] SOGo Outlook connector
I think I'm getting it. SOGo or Exchange server must be able to communicate with the client (eg Outlook) in order to push to it new emails, events etc. In Internet, users rarely have public IP assigned to their computers and in case of NAT the SOGo server is not able to push anything to the client because it doesn't have the direct IP communication. Outlook anywhere solves it by creating some kind of VPN between Outlook and the server. Am I more or less right with this?

So anyone can read/interfere the whole mails/events/contacts etc. In private networks this is not so much a issue (but one could still capture data with whireshark etc.) But as soon as your outlook client is connecting to your Exchange/Sogo server via Internet, then plenty of others might be able to: a) Read the unencrypted traffic b) Do some unwanted things to your server on port 135 To prevent this, with Outlook 2003 and Windows XP SP2? MS did introduce the possibility to tunnel the traffic between exchange and outlook in a https tunnel. Thats what rpc-over-https means, and in previous outlook versions it was named that way, now they call it outlook anywhere, but it's basically the same. For sogo this means: - You could safely use sogo+outlook in your corporate network. - When you wish to connect to your corporate sogo server from the internet, then you will either have to open that port (tcp 135) or use some tunnel/vpn software, since samba4 is currently lacking the rpc-over-https feature. - If you wish to host your sogo server on a public server, then your only hope for safety is to use a tunnel/vpn until rpc-over-https is implemented in samba4 and sogo (Personally I fear it will not be available this year) André -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

[SOGo] SOGo Outlook connector
Dear Users is anyone using SOGo with Outlook connector in the production environment? Could you share some opinions about it? Dear Developers is there any timeline so far for releasing the stable version of SOGo 2 with native Outlook compatibility? thanks Regards Bartek -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
RE: [SOGo] SOGo Outlook connector
I meant about the native Outlook compatibility released in the SOGo2 beta version. Not about other external connectors. Maybe I've expressed that wrong. Anyway - thanks to all for your comments! I'd appreciate very much if SOGo team would share some timeline for the stable version (if there's any of course :)) Regards B -Original Message- From: Martin Rabl [mailto:martin.r...@rablnet.de] Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 4:32 PM To: users@sogo.nu Subject: Re: [SOGo] SOGo Outlook connector Am 17.01.2012 16:21, schrieb Matthias Petermann: which Outlook connector do you mean?

Re: [SOGo] SOGo Outlook connector
So, we had really bad things seen while using latest v2 beta with outlook 2010 on windows. you cannot delete folders in your inbox once theyre creating and such things, so in my opinion its definately NOT ready for production environment! iam considering using SOGo as a hosted exchange environment too but first when its really ready and WELL tested. for now we stay at 1.3.11 using TB 3.1.17 + latest sogo stable connector/integrator but there are also quite some bugs, like bad calendar sync in TB (calendars arent synched anymore while events already deleted in sogo and so on now i hope there will be some better working solutions later (next days/weeks) but outlook is far from being ready!

Well it is in beta, and when running an application like this in production, you are far better waiting for Sogo 2.0.3 or whatever; let others do some testing in real environments first. It depends how 'stable' you need your app to be I'd give it at least a couple of months perhaps But that said, I don't think it will be too long before it will be perfectly usable as a real alternative.

SOGo is *already* an Exchange alternative - used in very (if not extremely) large-scale environments. When it comes to native Outlook compatibility, we have a radically different approach. We never stated it was ready for production and that's why we've created the SOGo v2 branch - to let people test it quite easily (together with the ZEG/Outlook). For those who want to offer hosted native Outlook compatibility, the Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTP) protocol will have to be added first to the whole solution (mostly in Samba4).

[SOGo] sogo / outlook question
Hi, I have read on openchange.org that upcoming outlook integration is based on (or uses) stuff from samba4. My question: will we also need to run samba4 or active directory to have outlook integration? Or will everything needed be included in sogo itself, and will a simple samba3/ldap domain be enough? I'm asking, because we're currently a scalix customer, and over the years we became more and more unsatistfied with it. I have decided now that the time has come to look for something else. I have deployed sogo on another (smaller) site, and I'm very happy with it. A bit early...but..: a happy new year to all of you! :-) MJ -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
Re: [SOGo] sogo / outlook question
Hi, SOGo Outlook native support only works on a samba4/openchange basis. Samba3/Ldap is not sufficient to do so. To setup a ads samba4 server there are a few working setups on the net. On the openchange-site you can find also a first manuell setup of SOGo to work with openchange. I myself have a samba4 ads with repl. successfull running on centOS-5.5. IN the new year I plan to seup my first SOGo Integration in my samba4 forest. If I have the time and succeed with it I will post a howto to the list Greetings and a happy new year Daniel Original-Nachricht Datum: Fri, 31 Dec 2010 11:19:59 +0100 Von: mourik jan heupink heup...@gmail.com An: users@sogo.nu Betreff: [SOGo] sogo / outlook question Hi, I have read on openchange.org that upcoming outlook integration is based on (or uses) stuff from samba4.

[SOGo] SOGo/Outlook - Demo video
Hello, Here's a video demonstrating our SOGo backend connector for OpenChange (emails + contacts) : http://inverse.ca/downloads/tmp/openchange.mov This give _native_ connectivity of Microsoft Outlook clients to SOGo. Our backend connector reuses all SOGo's business logic (ie., libraries) so the underlying data SOGo handles (LDAP server, database server and IMAP server) is exposed to Microsoft Outlook. We'll now focus on finishing a small PoC by integrating the calendars part and make this available together with documentation to get it running (Samba4, OpenChange and our backend connector are required components).

Re: [SOGo] SOGo/Outlook - Demo video
This looks quite interesting but I have a couple of questions. 1. From a security standpoint, which is more secure, using Outlook client with SOGo or using Thunderbird client? Will desktop users be more exposed to virus and security exploits using Outlook or Thunderbird? 2. Will SOGo work with different versions of Outlook at the same time? For example, can one user be running Outlook from Office 2003 and another from Office 2010? Thanks!

Re: [SOGo] SOGo/Outlook - Demo video
Ludovic, Awesome! It seems you're the first who bring native MAPI support among the fully opensource groupware. 1. Is there a plan to support shared folders for Outlook natively? Our university has a few (work)groups of users, who sort and store large amount of incoming correspondence collaboratively through the Exchange shared folders. And we (admins) can't get rid of Exchange without saving the look-and-feel of shared space for those few groups of users. 2. Is MAPI a top priority for main developers now? When should we start the testing+feedback? 3. Does this update involve lots of new strings for translation?
