+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===Installation=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Latest zarafa tested version ==== | ||
+ | Information on previous versions of zarafa rpms can be found in the [http://download.zarafa.com/zarafa/release/docs/changelog.en.txt changelog document] | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Zarafa rpms installation ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | http://www.zarafa.com/download-community | ||
+ | |||
+ | Distribution: Rhel 4 = SME 7 :: Rhel 5 = SME 8 | ||
+ | |||
+ | Select a version, the 3 Outlook license version, or the GPL version. (which doesn't have the zarafa-licensed-*.rpm) | ||
+ | |||
+ | tar -zxvf zarafa-6.*.tar.gz | ||
+ | yum localinstall libvmime-0*.rpm libical-0*.rpm zarafa-6*.rpm zarafa-webaccess-*.rpm zarafa-licensed-*.rpm | ||
+ | |||
+ | This will also install as a dependency: ''sysstat'' | ||
+ | {{Note box| You have to enable InnoDB support in MySql in order to get zarafa-server running, for information on how to do so, see [[MySQL#Enable_InnoDB_engine]]}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== smeserver-zarafa ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{Note box| This is an alpha release. Possibly for production servers after testing with per user settings first. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You select 'per user' or 'globally' where you want mail delivered via db entries. Default leaves mail going to users ~/Maildir. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A minimal amount of disruption can be achieved by enabling per user, that user just enables another IMAP connection in their email client on port 8143, they could then just drag and drop mail between SME to Zarafa mail stores. }} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Install a fresh SME 7.4 test server and perform the following: | ||
+ | |||
+ | yum install smeserver-zarafa --enablerepo=smedev | ||
+ | config setprop zarafa-licensed status disabled #GPL version only | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{Note box|If you installed the GPL version only (without outlook support), you need to create the (empty) file '/var/log/zarafa/licensed.log'. This file is required in all cases. Without this file (and using the GPL non-Outlook version), the Zarafa configuration panel in server manager will not be displayed.}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | After rpm install execute the following: | ||
+ | |||
+ | /etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-install | ||
+ | signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{Note box| You will be prompted to select the user plugin you wish to test. We suggest the db method. Note the ldap plugin is currently not supported in the rpm. The unix plugin reads existing SME user details but also includes groups and machine names (messy). The db plugin is pristine however you need to enter all the user details. In both cases the user must exist in SME first as a standard user. A decision on which plugin we will choose for final deployment is still to be determined.}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Updating ==== | ||
+ | Download newer rpms, then | ||
+ | rpm -Uvh zarafa-6*.rpm zarafa-webaccess-*.rpm libvmime-0*.rpm libical-0*.rpm zarafa-licensed-*.rpm | ||
+ | /etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-update | ||
+ | signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Usage=== | ||
+ | ====Managing Users==== | ||
+ | Enable mail delivery to zarafa for users: | ||
+ | |||
+ | for all users | ||
+ | config setprop zarafa-server GlobalForward enabled | ||
+ | or for individual users | ||
+ | db accounts setprop $USERNAME zarafa enabled | ||
+ | apply | ||
+ | /etc/e-smith/events/actions/qmail-update-user | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you chose the db plugin, run: | ||
+ | |||
+ | /etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-create-user | ||
+ | |||
+ | or manage zarafa users with the panel ( smeserver-zarafa >= 0.29 ) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ====Webmail==== | ||
+ | Access with a browser, | ||
+ | |||
+ | https://server/zarafa | ||
+ | https://server/webaccess | ||
+ | https://server/webmail (with Horde disabled '/server-manager > Email > Webmail Access') | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Outlook==== | ||
+ | To use MS Outlook install the zarafaclient-*.msi add-on contained in the win32 directory of zarafa-*.tar.gz | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * Outlook 2007 client generates ''Error 0x80070057'' on send and receive if the Zarafa | ||
+ | server is added to an existing profile. Creating a new clean profile solved | ||
+ | the problem. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====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===== | ||
+ | It seems that in the latest Thunderbird versions security tightened and Thunderbird will simply reject Self Signed Certificates when you try to connect to a (remote) SME Server on secure ports. | ||
+ | You first must add all the secure services ports to the security exceptions of Thunderbird under: | ||
+ | * tools->options->advanced->certificates->view certificates->Add Exception | ||
+ | and add your server address INLCUDING the specific port number of the service for EACH of the service-ports! | ||
+ | |||
+ | The format must be: | ||
+ | https://yourserver.com:8993 (for IMAPS) | ||
+ | https://yourserver.com:465 (SMTP) | ||
+ | https://yourserver.com:8089 (Caldav) | ||
+ | etc. etc | ||
+ | |||
+ | After accepting the self signed certificate for each service-port, you then can add an new email account and the Self Signed Certificate will not be rejected and you normally accept or install it like any other certificate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | 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, ... | ||
+ | {{Note box|Currently there is a bug in smeserver-zarafa package (bug #5410) that might prevent you from accessing the calendar. If so, replicate the steps described in the bug report to correct this and issue the following command from the commandline and you should be good to go: <tt>/etc/init.d/zarafa-ical restart</tt>}} | ||

+ | =====SSL Synchronization with Windows Mobile devices===== | ||
+ | Synchronisation 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. | ||

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.
Installation
Latest zarafa tested version
Information on previous versions of zarafa rpms can be found in the changelog document
Zarafa rpms installation
http://www.zarafa.com/download-community
Distribution: Rhel 4 = SME 7 :: Rhel 5 = SME 8
Select a version, the 3 Outlook license version, or the GPL version. (which doesn't have the zarafa-licensed-*.rpm)
tar -zxvf zarafa-6.*.tar.gz yum localinstall libvmime-0*.rpm libical-0*.rpm zarafa-6*.rpm zarafa-webaccess-*.rpm zarafa-licensed-*.rpm
This will also install as a dependency: sysstat
smeserver-zarafa
Install a fresh SME 7.4 test server and perform the following:
yum install smeserver-zarafa --enablerepo=smedev config setprop zarafa-licensed status disabled #GPL version only
After rpm install execute the following:
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-install signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Updating
Download newer rpms, then
rpm -Uvh zarafa-6*.rpm zarafa-webaccess-*.rpm libvmime-0*.rpm libical-0*.rpm zarafa-licensed-*.rpm /etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-update signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Usage
Managing Users
Enable mail delivery to zarafa for users:
for all users
config setprop zarafa-server GlobalForward enabled
or for individual users
db accounts setprop $USERNAME zarafa enabled
apply
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/qmail-update-user
If you chose the db plugin, run:
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-create-user
or manage zarafa users with the panel ( smeserver-zarafa >= 0.29 )
Webmail
Access with a browser,
https://server/zarafa https://server/webaccess https://server/webmail (with Horde disabled '/server-manager > Email > Webmail Access')
Outlook
To use MS Outlook install the zarafaclient-*.msi add-on contained in the win32 directory of zarafa-*.tar.gz
- Outlook 2007 client generates Error 0x80070057 on send and receive if the Zarafa
server is added to an existing profile. Creating a new clean profile solved the problem.
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
It seems that in the latest Thunderbird versions security tightened and Thunderbird will simply reject Self Signed Certificates when you try to connect to a (remote) SME Server on secure ports. You first must add all the secure services ports to the security exceptions of Thunderbird under:
- tools->options->advanced->certificates->view certificates->Add Exception
and add your server address INLCUDING the specific port number of the service for EACH of the service-ports!
The format must be:
https://yourserver.com:8993 (for IMAPS) https://yourserver.com:465 (SMTP) https://yourserver.com:8089 (Caldav) etc. etc
After accepting the self signed certificate for each service-port, you then can add an new email account and the Self Signed Certificate will not be rejected and you normally accept or install it like any other certificate.
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 |
https://server:8089/ical/ | user's own default calendar via ical (not recommended) |
https://server:8089/caldav/ | user's own default calendar |
https://server:8089/caldav/<other-user> | 0ther-user's calendar |
https://server:8089/caldav/<user>/<calendar> | user's self created calendar in user's (own) store |
https://server:8089/caldav/<user>/<calendar>/<subcal> | user's self created subcalendar in a self created calendar |
https://server:8089/caldav/public/<calendar>/ | calendar folder in the public folder |
URL For MAC OSX ical client | |
https://server:8089/caldav/ | User's calendar list |
https://server:8089/caldav/<other-user> | Other-users calendar list |
https://server:8089/caldav/public | Public folders list |
URL | Tasks |
https://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.
You can find the original Z-push installation documentation here: http://download.zarafa.com/zarafa/release/docs/z-push_installation_manual.en.pdf
Download the latest Z-push version (see: http://z-push.sourceforge.net).
wget http://download2.berlios.de/z-push/z-push-1.2.2.tar.gz
Extract the files:
tar -zxvf z-push-1.2.2.tar.gz -C /var/www/html
'State'-dir needs to be writable for apache:
chmod 755 /var/www/html/z-push/state chown www:www /var/www/html/z-push/state
Expand and restart
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf sv restart httpd-e-smith
SSL Synchronization with Windows Mobile devices
Synchronisation 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.

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
