Vagrant Virtual OX App Suite Appliance for dummies: Hostname & Upper-Case Userids

[dave]

Hi,
I've been trying out Malte Timmermanns excellent Vagrant Virtual Appliance...
OX App Suite Server Installation for Dummies

1) I tried changing the Servername using config.vm.hostname = "newname" in the VagrantFile.
This did not cause any error messages during installation & the Server starts & login is possible,
but no Email communication is possible between for example david & eva.
I presume the Dovecot in the preconfiguered Vagrant Box is hardwared to appsuite-dev-vm.

Is there any way to (simply) change this?

2) Upper-Case Userids seem to cause problems.
I created the user ZZZZ using the createoxuser script supplied in the Appliance.
(this just issues a /opt/open-xchange/sbin/createuser... & a useradd/chpasswd to create the Dovecot user)
Login as ZZZZ is possible but the following Error Dialogue is displayed:
"Error
There was an issue while authenticating.
This may be due to a recent password change.
To continue please log out and log back in with your most current password."

Is this a general issue with Open-Xchange or specific to this simple Appliance?

All the best,
Dave

Probably just in this appliance.
The OX username is by default case sensitive. For Dovecot it is case insensitive I guess. So they do not match by default.

You probably want to set
AUTO_TO_LOWERCASE_UID=true before provisioning.
