Re: [SOGo] Recommended setup?
I am using SOGo in a simple setup for personal use without Samba/LDAP on Debian Wheezy myself. As SOGo does not include any kind of user management, you need an existing user source that holds the user credentials (e.g., mail address, name, password). This could be either a MySQL/PostgreSQL Database or LDAP. Since you have a running Postfix + Dovecot setup you're probably having such a user source for virtual mail users already (Check your Postfix and Dovecot configuration). SOGo must be configured to use that existing user source for authentication. I suggest you use an existing Webinterface as Postfixadmin or the more modern VimbAdmin to manage your mail users.

RE: [SOGo] Recommended setup?
Hello, I had asked for a recommended setup several weeks ago. Probably I was not very clear in stating what my goal is. I wanted to set up a mail server for personal/private use of my family. Since several weeks/months ago I was evaluating choices for a complete, free and powerful solution. I came to SOGo because of support for calendars, webmail and ActiveSync. Meanwhile I installed a base mail server on CentOS 6.6 with Postfix and Dovecot and a few more tools, integrated/configured SpamAssassin, ClamAV via MailScanner and installed/configured Postgrey. I would now like to finally add SOGo to this server. My question is: So far I have no Samba and no OpenLDAP on this server and I am using only a few local Unix user accounts - because I don't need more. Can I install SOGo now on my server as described above, without Samba/LDAP? I would like to avoid Samba and OpenLDAP because I will never need more than a handful (or two) of user accounts on this server, even if I add a few more relatives and friends to it.

Re: [SOGo] Recommended setup?
The key point with authentication is the authentication of your users - mail calendar users, who do not need to have user accounts on your server. The authentication information for your users need to be stored in LDAP or SQL at the moment - unfortunately, from my perspective, but that is how it is. On the other side, SOGo needs to authenticate itself to be a legitimate user for the database - that is the authentication you describe below. This is what need to be arranged for within your system and is agnostic to your (potentially non-system) users. So, for my example (family use as well, however, with a handful of linux machines, so I did set up LDAP and Kerberos for authentification plus a file / data server to have a unified experience throughout all the machines), I needed to duplicate my Kerberos users within the SQL database, including their passwords. Now, if some user might decide to change his password in Kerberos, a separate change in SOGo would be required - a real nightmare, but luckily my family is not that keen on changing passwords... I would strongly prefer to have a kerberized SOGo in this context - not sure, whether samba 4 would lead to some nicely integrated solution (my set-up is pre-samba4 and I do not have any Windows machines to deal with). Hope this helps, Rolf On 22.11.2014 16:47, Kai-Uwe Rommel wrote: users-requ...@sogo.nu wrote on 22.11.2014 14:38:04: On 22/11/2014 08:26, Kai-Uwe Rommel wrote: Can I install SOGo now on my server as described above, without Samba/LDAP?

Hello Kai-Uwe I am not very good at installing all these required packages so I used http://www.onlinedemo.hu/71-zeg-install-script which uses Debian 12 LTS. Beware that there are 2 things missing in this script: It stops in part 10 and then you do a2enmod version service apache2 restart and restart the script and in part 14 you do a2enmod authnz_ldap service apache2 restart and restart. It installs all the things you need to get a working SOGo. Oh and one other thing: You use an older version of Debian so you have to do sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty You get a complete working version and it only takes about 1,5 hour.

Re: [SOGo] Recommended setup?
I've experimented with updating the ZEG to Ubuntu 14.04, and there were no issues. However, that was before the recent OpenChange updates, so some adjustments might need to be made. That said, it's likely Inverse will produce a new ZEG in the near future. However, I am following the general instructions found here to build my own: http://iabsis.com/EN/article/35/Installation-de-Samba4-et-Openchange-sur-un-serveur-Debian-ou-Ubuntu And, cross-referencing the latest instructions from Inverse (for the latest versions) I am building it as a virtual machine so it can be imported into our current infrastructure.

There haven't been that many user-visible changes since the ZEG's version, apart from tons of bugfixes. It should be sufficient for evaluation. -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
