Hi, I have continued trying to get OpenChange to work with SOGo, but still unsuccessful, and have not received any feedback to guide me to the problem. I do have some more information. I initially suspected an IMAP authentication problem, but now I am not so sure.
I believe I have covered the IMAP trust issue. I have Cyrus-IMAP running 2 instances - 'imap' listening on the server IP and 'imaplocal' listening on the loopback address. 'imap' has pwcheck_method = saslauthd while 'imaplocal' has pwcheck_method = alwaystrue as per the setup guide. With this I can login at the server using the imtest utility with my testuser AD account and any password, so this should be correct. My testing shows 2 scenarios, depending on how I configure SOGo: 1. Set SOGoIMAPServer = server.example.com Using the SOGo web GUI the testuser AD account can login OK. saslauthd shows successful authentication by testuser, and Cyrus reports successful authentication in maillog by testuser and service 'imap'. testuser can see mail, contacts and calendar. Starting Outlook and login as testuser, Outlook will open and says it is connected to Exchange, but there is no mail folder creation and no mail items visible. In the maillog Cyrus service 'imap' reports authentication failed for testuser. This is oviously the IMAP trust issue. So... 2. Set SOGoIMAPServer = localhost The testuser can still login via SOGo web GUI. Cyrus now shows successful authentication in maillog by testuser on service 'imaplocal'. No activity reported by saslauthd, as expected, because pwcheck_method = alwaystrue. Looks good up to here, but... Starting Outlook and login as testuser, Outlook will hang at the splash screen for 12 minutes (every time) before finally opening. When it does there is no folder creation, but I can see existing mail in Inbox/Sent folders. I can view contacts, but selecting calendar crashes Outlook. When Outlook does open Cyrus reports a successful authentication in the maillog by testuser on service 'imaplocal'. This would suggest to me that there is no problem with Cyrus-IMAP or SASL, but the problem is OpenChange. Furthermore, in both scenarios above, once Outlook is started I see 100% CPU usage on the server. The process consuming this is 'paster'. paster is part of the python-paste-script package, required by python-pylons, required by openchange-ocsmanager. The only way to free the CPU is to restart the openchange-ocsmanager service. I have followed the guide and tested everything systematically but still cannot make it work. SOGo itself appears to be stable and works through its web GUI so I am happy to use it, but OpenChange seems to me to be still experimental and not something I can use in a live system. I think I will have to give up for now and wait until OpenChange reaches greater maturity. Stephen Jones -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
