OXHE Admin Interface

[wzettler]

tried to install the OXHE Admin Interface as described in "Easy Integration Whitepaper".

The *.deb files are datet with 2008-03-17.

Login as admin succeedes with:

Login URL: http://192.168.xxx.xxx/ox6/admin

username: admin@domain.com
password: secret

(admin user created with creatin of the context)

but

when adding new users to the admin-interface, there is no password-entry. Maybe I've overseen it.

Creating new users to that context over the cli-interface works perfect, but the login fails with

"Login failed. Please check your username/password and try again"

after entering

URL: http://192.168.xxx.xxx/ox6

Username: user1@domain1.com
Password: secret

Did not find any errors in the open-xchange logs.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Like described in the chapter 2.6 of the instructions, the users account needs to be existing in the configured IMAP server with the given email adress as login.

Thus OX will authenticate against the IMAP server account and will not store the password directly in the database.

Is the users account existing in the IMAP server?
And is his login user1@domain1.com?

Yes, it's defined with cyradm (like ox.user1@example.com), password is set with saslauth2.

The login is now possible, but at the end of initialization process there is folloging message given at the output-message area of OX:

Error code: There was an issue in authenticating your E-Mail password. This may be because of a recent password change. To continue please logout now and then log back in with your most current password (server=localhost, user=6, context=6) (MSG-0094,-1237264683-24).

Is there a documentation explaining the way OX-HE interoperates with IMAP?

To that fhe following questions arise:

. Differences between the two IMAP-Interfacess: OX-HE and OXEE?
. Will there be a unique interface when OXHE/OXEE (OX6) will be released?
. Differences between cyrus and courier?

Thanks.

Could you please post some logs appearing in /var/log/open-xchange.log.* ?

That's a quite new and still beta feature.

OX-HE and OX-EE have no difference in handling imap. What you are currently trying is the beta version of a Admin GUI for the HE version.
In this version, there's an additional authentication method available, that authenticates against an imap server and not against a database, which is the default.
The different authentication modules can be set in

/opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/system.properties

LoginInfo=com.openexchange.groupware.contexts.RdbLoginInfo

means authentication against database.

enclosed please find the log-files from /var/log/open-xchange/.

Assuming the OX-HE AdminInterface is an own module, extending OX-HE in a way, that hosters can use it as a service to their customers. It is not intended to replace the rdb authentication in any way for the upcoming OX-HE?

Is it possible to get the name (source) of the *.java components involved in the authentication process for the "Testet IMAP Servers" mentioned in 4.2 of OX-HE Installation and Administration?

Thanks in advance for your help.
