Description
Zarafa is a workgroup sharing solution based on the look-and-feel of Microsoft Outlook, which enables the sharing of mail and appointments from Outlook and a web-based interface.
There is an additional interface called zarafa-webapp with additional features
Installation
Latest zarafa tested version
Information on latest and previous versions of zarafa rpms can be found in the changelog document
Zarafa rpms installation
http://download.zarafa.com/community/final/7.1/
Select the appropriate rhel-6 arch for your application.
Note: The free version contains the free 3 Outlook license version. if you are planning on using or testing this with any outlook clients, you will want to download the free version.
tar -zxvf zcp*.tar.gz cd into zcp directory rm -f *dev*.rpm <<This is to remove the dev rpms, they are not required. yum localinstall *.rpm
This will also install several dependencies.
smeserver-zarafa-unix
Now install smeserver-zarafa-unix by performing the following:
yum install smeserver-zarafa-unix --enablerepo=smecontribs NOTE: If you installed the GPL version of Zarafa, you must disable zarafa-licensed... config setprop zarafa-licensed status disabled
After rpm install execute the following:
signal-event zarafa-post-install signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
MySQL
The default MySQL database created is named 'zarafa' and the default user is named 'zarafa'
The MySQL password is a strong random string and automatically set. See:
config show zarafa-server
To reset the existing database password you can use:
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-reset-db-password
Controlling Zarafa Services
To control the zarafa services (start/stop etc.) the following command can be used:
signal-event zarafa-services [option]
Where the [option] can be on of the following:
start|stop|restart|update|enabled|disabled
The update option will rebuild the zarafa config files based on the current db settings.
To disable global Zarafa for all users
config setprop zarafa-server GlobalForward disabled signal-event user-modify
To enable an individual user if Global is disabled
db accounts setprop $USERNAME Zarafa enabled signal-event user-modify $USERNAME
To enable the admin account
db accounts setprop admin Zarafa enabled signal-event user-modify-admin
Webmail
Access with a browser,
https://server/zarafa https://server/webmail (with Horde disabled '/server-manager > Email > Webmail Access') https://server/zarafa-webapp (This is the new Zarafa Webapp with additional features)
Outlook
To use MS Outlook install the zarafaclient-*.msi add-on contained in the win32 directory of zarafa-*.tar.gz
Known working hardware
Tested and working with Android 4.1.1 on a Samsung Galaxy 3S over a SSL connection / mail-push is working.
Additional Refrences
The following is from the original Zarafa page and is provided for reference only. Items below are UNTESTED...
IMAP
The default ports for Zarafa are 8000 + default values so imap = 8143, imaps 8993
SME and Zarafa use different folder naming.
drafts > Drafts [client specific ?, Drafts is default Thunderbird-2.0] sent-mail > Sent Items trash > Deleted Items junkmail > Junk E-mail
Thunderbird
The Thunderbird client uses its own Trash folder, not the Zarafa "Deleted Items" folder,
Change in the config editor
Preferences > advance > config editor, find mail.server.number and add new string as below
user_pref("mail.server.server5.port", "8143");
user_pref("mail.server.server5.name", "zac@232.net");
user_pref("mail.server.server5.numHdrsToKeep", 30);
user_pref("mail.server.server5.timeout", 29);
right click > new
preference name > mail.server.server5.trash_folder_name
value > Deleted Items
+user_pref("mail.server.server5.trash_folder_name", "Deleted Items");
Drafts and Sent Items can be changed in : Account Settings > user > Copies and Folders
If junkmail exists just delete it.
Calendar CalDAV / iCal
Starting from Zarafa 6.30 there is decent CalDAV/iCal support for calendars (tasks not yet) that can be accessed with an CalDAV or iCal client eg, Thunderbird with Lighting, Sunbird, Evolution, MAC ical, ...
- In Thunderbird/Lightning: New Calendar > on network > CalDAV > Location: see table below
- In Evolution: New Calendar > Type: CalDAV > URL: see table below (remove the 'Use SSL' option)
- In Mac iCal client: iCal > Preferences > click '+' > Account URL: see table below
| URL | Calendar |
| http://server:8089/ical/ | user's own default calendar via ical (not recommended) |
| http://server:8089/caldav/ | user's own default calendar |
| http://server:8089/caldav/<other-user> | 0ther-user's calendar |
| http://server:8089/caldav/<user>/<calendar> | user's self created calendar in user's (own) store |
| http://server:8089/caldav/<user>/<calendar>/<subcal> | user's self created subcalendar in a self created calendar |
| http://server:8089/caldav/public/<calendar>/ | calendar folder in the public folder |
| URL For MAC OSX ical client | |
| http://server:8089/caldav/ | User's calendar list |
| http://server:8089/caldav/<other-user> | Other-users calendar list |
| http://server:8089/caldav/public | Public folders list |
| URL | Tasks |
| http://server:8089/caldav/<user>/tasks | user's default tasks list. ONLY WITH Zarafa 6.40.2 or newer !! |
Port 8089 is used for secure SSL connections, port 8088 for unsecured connections.
Mobile synchronisation
To enable synchronization of your mobile phone through ActiveSync with Zarafa, Z-push needs to be installed.
z-push now has RPM's built for RHEL6 making the install simple...
For i386 go here http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/6/i386/repoview/letter_z.group.html
For X86_64 go here http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/6/x86_64/repoview/letter_z.group.html
You will need 2 packages, z-push and z-push-zarafa. Download the latest packages, as of this writing, 2.0.7-1 works without any issue.
yum localinstall z-push*
Know working hardware
Tested and working with Android 4.1 on a Samsung Galaxy 3S over a SSL connection / mail-push is working.
Tested and working with WinMobile 6.1 on a HTC TyTN II over a SSL connection / mail-push is working.
Tested and working with WinMobile 6.1 on an upgraded QTEK9100 over SSL connection. Push mail not tested.
Tested and working with WinMobile 2003 on an QTEK9090 over SSL connection. Push mail not tested.
Tested and working with IPHONE. Push mail not tested.
Tested and working with Nokia 6120 Classic. Push mail not tested.
Additional Mobile Synchronization Information
SSL Synchronization with Windows Mobile devices
Synchronization over a secured connection is possible if you can add your site as a trusted one with corresponding certificate on your mobile.
This is the case for Windows mobile 6 (WM6) devices. Problems should occurs on several WM5 devices, because of a bug that limits addition of certificates with that OS. Here are the steps to add your server as a trusted platform on your WM6 mobile : 1. to convert your server's certificate into a (Binary coded DER X.509) .cer file you can either run the following command and skip to step 4 or just start at the next step.
openssl x509 -in /home/e-smith/ssl.pem/<certificate name>.pem -inform PEM -out /root/<certificate name>.cer -outform DER
2. copy your server's certificates located in /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/ on a Windows XP/Vista computer 3. we need to transform those .crt certificates to .cer certificate ( same type of certificate but .crt are text-encoded ). To do so :
- in microsoft windows open a certificate by double clicking on it
- in "Detail" Tab pane choose "Copy to file"
- Choose Binary coded DER X.509 (.cer) format
- save resulting .cer certificates on local machine
4. transfer .cer certificates on your mobile using windows explorer 5. When done, on your WM6 mobile use file explorer to open those certificates. When opening one, the certificate is automatically added to trusted sites. 6. You can then change your Exchange server parameters to use SSL. It will be asked to reenter your password.
Command line admin
man zarafa for details
List users:
/usr/bin/zarafa-admin -l
Update a user to admin status:
/usr/bin/zarafa-admin -u <username> -a 1
Migrating users and data to Zarafa
http://wiki.contribs.org/Imapsync
Customizing the Calendar
The labels and categories in the calendar can be altered to suit user requirements.
The labels are defined in
/usr/share/zarafa-webaccess/client/layout/dialogs/standard/appointment.php beginning at line 225
The categories are in
/usr/share/zarafa-webaccess/client/layout/dialogs/modal/categories.php beginning at line 51.
Zarafa Bayesian learning
This howto enables SpamAssasin Bayesian learning for Zarafa
Mail Sorting
Maildrop as configured with smeserver-mailsorting will deliver to ~/Maildir rather than zarafa
Procmail will sort to zarafa for enabled users from smeserver-mailsorting-1.2-29,
Backup and restore
Backup
Backup is done normally with standard backup tool provided with SME, or with other backup contribs (affa). Be sure that those datas are correctly saved :
- zarafa database. All backup tools are saving all mysql database in standard mode, it should be Ok
- attachment files. Those one are stored in '/home/e-smith/files/zarafa' directory.
Restore
Standard full restore function provided by SME or other backup tools will restore Zarafa datas. In certain cases, it is interessant to restore only zarafa database backup (ie update issue). This is done following those steps :
- stopping zarafa server
/etc/rc.d/init.d/zarafa-server stop
- deleting all tables currently into zarafa database
mysql zarafa -e "show tables" | grep -v Tables_in | grep -v "+" | \
gawk '{print "drop table " $1 ";"}' | mysql zarafa
- import the backup of zarafa database
cd /directory/containing/your/backup mysql < zarafa.dump
- restart zarafa server
/etc/rc.d/init.d/zarafa-server start
