RE: [SOGo] OpenChange OCSmanager & multidomains

2017-03-30 Thread Craig Fisher
I can see it from both points of view - it's there and works (apparently - 
although I can't make it do so), so the documentation reflects the current 
usage.  But I've also spent quite a while banging my head against a component 
that doesn't have any meaningful documentation without consulting the Internet 
Archive to access openchange.org. That should have been a red-flag I suppose, 
but the active github repository in Zentyal (which is the build pulled in from 
the Inverse installation process) would seem to indicate that it's possibly 
hanging on.

What would be good is a bigger picture road-map (beyond that of bug fixes) of 
where things are moving to, so that any contributions I/we can make will take 
things forward along a productive path, rather than down a cul-de-sac.

If the openchange component is to go, and EAS is to be the Outlook-compatible 
tool of choice, then I'm assuming that all the EWS features ( 
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn144954(v=exchg.140).aspx ) 
will be lost?

If contributions are interesting and overcome limitations, why would we remove 
support? I wrote "it is likely" - I didn't write "it will".

Removing that component seems like a major change to make "soon" given 
that the documentation still indicates that this is the recommended 
configuration.

The documentation will be updated when the change is carried forward.

How will existing clients react to the removal of native Exchange support?
Unfortunately, OpenChange has had limitations that weren't overcome in 
years, so people rarely went beyond PoC stages.

  Will they automatically fail over to ActiveSync?

No automatically, those are two different account types in Outlook.


For Outlook compatibility, you can use ActiveSync if you're using 
Outlook 2013 or 2013, or you can use the Outlook CalDAV/CardDAV 
connector (https://sourceforge.net/projects/outlookcaldavsynchronizer/)


I presume you mean "or 2016," right? 

Yes, indeed.

OpenChange is dead. Our code that plays with it is likely set to be 
removed soon.


Q1. If not is Openchange a requirement for Exchange ActiveSync 
functionality? It seems like a dead development… ☹


Our ActiveSync stack in SOGo does NOT rely in any way with OpenChange - 
it works on its own and is self-contained.


Q2. If not – is there any documentation on what the autodiscover.xml 
response should look like to tell remote Outlook to use EAS instead of 
using OCSManager to generate it?

[SOGo] OpenChange OCSmanager & multidomains

2017-03-29 Thread Craig Fisher
Folks, Hi

 

I’ve got SOGO working fine with multiple domains, separated into different OUs 
in my LDAP (Samba4).  I’m using the email address as the login name – which 
works well for Sogo/dovecot/postfix logins.

 

However – I don’t seem to be able to get OCSManager to authenticate my 
autodiscover.xml properly.  It comes up with an HTTP-AUTH box which seems to 
connect and work using LDAP correctly initially, but once it gets into the 
‘pulling information out of Samba’ part to generate the autodiscover response, 
the Samba NTLM searches fail as they are searching for the email address.

 

There doesn’t seem to be any documentation for Openchange *anywhere*, beyond 
the example setup in the SOGo docs.  

 

Q1. Will Openchange support multipledomains/login via LDAP and pulling 
information from there?

Q1. If not is Openchange a requirement for Exchange ActiveSync functionality? 
It seems like a dead development… ☹

Q2. If not – is there any documentation on what the autodiscover.xml response 
should look like to tell remote Outlook to use EAS instead of using OCSManager 
to generate it?

 

May thanks in advance…

 

-Craig
