=====Problems=====
  −
* By default:
  −
:* Users who login using IMAP Authentication are not automatically added to the owncloud "oc_users" table.  Consequently, they are not offered as options when other users want to share files with them.
  −
:*  IMAP authenticated users will be unable to connect using the owncloud client sync program.
  −
* If your IMAP server allows alternative username syntax, owncloud will create a separate account for each username format that allows successful authentication. That is, if your IMAP server allows users to optionally include or omit the domain name, you might create a user account entry for "xyzuser@mail.yourdomain.com", then find that the user always logs in using simply "xyzuser", which succeeds during the IMAP authentication, but is a different account within owncloud.

===Mozilla Sync===
 +
Mozilla Sync is an addon for OwnCloud that allows users to securely synchronize Firefox settings across multiple devices (tabs, bookmarks, history, saved passwords).
 +
 +
The owncloud instructions for installing and configuring Mozilla Sync addon can be found here: https://github.com/owncloud/mozilla_sync/blob/master/INSTALL.md
 +
 +
The Mozilla Sync addon is included by default in OwnCloud 6 and simply needs to be 'enabled' by an admin. The addon requires separate installation steps in Owncloud 5.
 +
 +
====Install Mozilla Sync in OwnCloud 5====
 +
These instructions assume that you have installed owncloud into an ibay named '''owncloud''':
 +
 +
Using a zipped tarball:
 +
<nowiki>cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/owncloud/files
 +
wget https://github.com/owncloud/mozilla_sync/archive/master.zip -O master.zip
 +
sudo -u www unzip master.zip
 +
mv mozilla_sync-master /home/e-smith/files/ibays/owncloud/html/apps/mozilla_sync</nowiki>
 +
 +
Using Git:
 +
<nowiki>cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/owncloud/html/apps
 +
sudo -u www git clone https://github.com/owncloud/mozilla_sync.git
 +
sudo -u www git checkout master</nowiki>
 +
 +
====Server settings to enable Mozilla Sync====
 +
Now, on the server:
 +
* login to your owncloud instance as an administrator
 +
* Open the 'Apps' page
 +
* 'Enable' the Mozilla Sync app
 +
* Verify that all 'Mozilla Sync' users have a unique email address configured in their user profile (Mozilla sync (in Firefox) authenticates using the user's email address).
 +
 +
====Firefox settings to enable Mozilla Sync====
 +
Setup sync using the email address you verified above, using the password for the user that matches the email address.
 +
 +
The address for your 'custom server' should look like:<br>
 +
<nowiki>https://'''<path-to-your-owncloud>'''/remote.php/mozilla_sync/</nowiki>
