if you have copy and paste this line from the properties file, please check the spelling and remove the G

PRIMARY_MAIL_UNCHANGEABLGE=false


Anymore there are some packages with the version 6.12.

[wwgernot]

close, but not finished. posting 1 in this thread tricked me here, but still:

server:/opt/open-xchange/sbin# cat /opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/user.properties

# Specify whether beta features are enabled/disabled per default
com.openexchange.user.beta=true
primary_mail_unchangeable=false
server:/opt/open-xchange/sbin# service open-xchange-groupware restart
Restarting Open-Xchange Groupware: open-xchange-groupware.
server:/opt/open-xchange/sbin# service open-xchange-admin restart
Restarting Open-Xchange Admin Daemon: open-xchange-admin.
server:/opt/open-xchange/sbin# changeuser -c 87 -A secret1 -P secret2 -i 51 -e username@domain.at
user 51 in context 87 could not be changed:
Server response:
primary mail must not be changed


besides, the docu is saying:
PRIMARY_MAIL_UNCHANGEABLE - If true, it is possible to change primary E-Mail address (this breaks outlook oxtender support)

isnt that just unlogic? UNchangeable=true should NOT let it change. besides i
tried true and false, Capital letters ond like the posting, and nothing worked.

and i am VERY worried about the breaking of oxtender support, some of my users are planning to use oxtender in future??

[wwgernot]

is it ok, instead of spamming forum here, just to search the ox database, and replace it?

[kniggisiggi]

i installed 6.16 today and first thing i tested was to change the primary emailadress!

the former problem seems to be fixed, but i still get a message i don't want:

# ./listuser -c 1 -A admin -P secret
...
55 test7              test test7           test7@example.com         
...

# ./changeuser -c 1 -A admin -P secret -i 55 -u test -d "test test" -g test -s test -e test@example.com
user 55 in context 1 could not be changed: 
Server response:
 primaryMail, Email1 and defaultSenderAddress must be present in set of aliases.

i don't want an alias!
i just want to change the username and primary email address.
what am i doing wrong?

[Carsten Hoeger]

You need to change all the listed addresses at once.
In addition, the primary mail and default sender address must be listed in the aliases:

Example:

-e test@example.com -u username -a test@example.com \
--defaultsenderaddress test@example.com

[kniggisiggi]

thank you!

[Garry]

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but has this handling changed again in newer releases? I tried setting the option in the user.properties on a 6.20 system, and still get the "must not be changed" error when I try altering a user email ...
