SOGo - Scaleable OpenGroupware.org

http://www.sogo.nu

SOGo is a groupware server built around OpenGroupware.org (OGo) and the SOPE application server. It focuses on scalability.

SOGo provides a rich AJAX-based Web interface and supports multiple native clients through the use of standard protocols such as CalDAV, CardDAV and GroupDAV.

Once configured, SOGo offers multiple ways to access the calendaring and messaging data. Your users can either use a web browser, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple iCal, or a mobile device to access the same information. SOGo provides native Microsoft ActiveSync support. Mobile devices such as Apple iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry 10 can fully synchronize emails, contacts, events and tasks with SOGo.

Requirements

SOGo requires SME 8 or SME 9

Install SOGO 2

For SME 8

Important.png Note:
due to the version of dovecot, I cannot maintain sogo for sme8, please upgrade to sme9


You need to activate Stephdl, epel and sogo repository


Warning.png Warning:
due to the limitation of dovecot 1.0 in SME server 8.0, you cannot use sogo (superior of 2.0 version) without bugs. If it is absolutely needed (eg : you should use SME9) you can install smeserver-dovecot from firewall-services : https://wikit.firewall-services.com/doku.php/smedev/dovecot


This contrib is currently held in several repositories, so the following commands will install it on your smeserver. For SME 8 , You need to activate Stephdl, epel and sogo repository 

yum --enablerepo=stephdl,epel,sogo install smeserver-sogo

You will then need to activate the database changes etc. The 'official' way is to perform 

signal-event post-upgrade;  signal-event reboot

or if you don't want to reboot your server 

signal-event sogo-modify; config set UnsavedChanges no

For SME 9

You need to activate Stephdl, epel and sogo repository


This contrib is currently held in several repositories, so the following commands will install it on your smeserver. For SME 9 , You need to activate Stephdl, epeland sogo repository 

yum --enablerepo=stephdl,epel,sogo,fws install smeserver-sogo

You will then need to activate the database changes etc. The 'official' way is to perform 

signal-event post-upgrade;  signal-event reboot

or if you don't want to reboot your server 

signal-event sogo-modify; config set UnsavedChanges no

Install SOGO 3 (ONLY SME9)

First installation

This contrib is currently held in several repositories, so the following commands will install it on your smeserver. For SME 9 , You need to activate Stephdl, epel and sogo repository 

yum --enablerepo=stephdl,epel,sogo3,fws install smeserver-sogo

You will then need to activate the database changes etc. The 'official' way is to perform 

signal-event post-upgrade;  signal-event reboot

or if you don't want to reboot your server 

signal-event sogo-modify; config set UnsavedChanges no

Upgrade from sogo2

For SME 9 , You need to activate Stephdl, epel, fws and sogo repository 

signal-event yum-modify
yum update  --enablerepo=sogo3
yum reinstall sope\* --enablerepo=sogo3

You will then need to activate the database changes etc. The 'official' way is to perform 

signal-event post-upgrade;  signal-event reboot

or if you don't want to reboot your server 

signal-event sogo-modify; config set UnsavedChanges no

Usage

To access webmail and calenders, open the url http://yourdomain.net/SOGo

If you disable webmail access from within SmeServer email panel, opening http://yourdomain.net/webmail you'll be redirected to SOGo.

After a modification 

signal-event sogo-modify

Sieve integration (SME 9)

Installing SOGo on SME 9 according to the instructions above also installs smeserver-dovecot-extras as a dependency. In order to make full use of sieve functionality in SOGo (such as auto expiration of vacation messages), make sure that the following property is enabled in the configuration database: 

db configuration setprop dovecot AdminIsMaster enabled

signal-event email-update

Special Settings (SME 9)

Sogo is full of settings that I cannot provide all, please read the sogo's book

Now when you want to add a specific option, 'SOGoMailComposeMessageType html' per example 

vim /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/sogo/sogo.conf/80MYOPTIONS

Add you modifications (contrary is 'text') 

SOGoMailComposeMessageType = html;

Expand and restart sogo 

signal-event sogo-modify

If you want to go back, then 

rm -f /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/sogo/sogo.conf/80MYOPTIONS
signal-event sogo-modify

Log

All events are logged in the relevant log file 

less /var/log/sogo/sogo.log

Documentation

Please RTFM instead of raising bugs against smeserver-sogo :)

You have more documentation available here on all SOGo's aspects


You can fine tune thunderbird to be a pure "heavy" client for SOGo. See the Documentation


Sogo must be tuned following the number of users, some settings can be tested.

Keep in mind to set one worker per user for the activesync connection.

Thunderbird Configuration

You are encouraged to use Thunderbird ESR (Extended Support Release) and corresponding compatible Lightning plugin. According to Mozilla Team "Thunderbird Extended Support Release (ESR) is intended for groups who deploy and maintain the desktop environment in large organizations such as universities and other schools, county or city governments and businesses". Furthermore the latest releases of Lightning plugin is fully SOGo compatibile, so no more need of a SOGo customized version.

1.) From a Windows client create the folder "SOGo-plugins\WINNT_x86-msvc" in your Primary ibay "html" folder (e.g. \\<SME server name>\Primary\hmtl\SOGo-plugins\WINNT_x86-msvc)

2.) Download the latest Lightning, Connector and Integrator plugins from [1] and place them in the "WINNT_x86-msvc" folder.

3.) Rename "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo-demo.xpi" to "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo.xpi". (This is optional)

4.) Open the "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo.xpi" file with your favorite zip program (it is just a renamed zip file. 7-zip works nicely for this) and edit the file "\chrome\content\sogo-integrator\extensions.rdf".

Change the following lines: 

       <Seq about="http://inverse.ca/sogo-integrator/extensions"
          isi:updateURL="http://sogo-demo.inverse.ca/plugins/updates.php?plugin=%ITEM_ID%&version=%ITEM_VERSION%&platform=%PLATFORM%">
          <li>
            <Description
              em:id="sogo-integrator@inverse.ca"
              em:name="SOGo Integrator"/>
          </li>
          <li>
            <Description
              em:id="sogo-connector@inverse.ca"
              em:name="SOGo Connector"/>
          </li>
        </Seq>

To read: (change the server address to your server and add the Lightning plugin to the extensions list): (Then save the "extensions.rdf" back to the same place in the "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo.xpi" file and then save the .xpi file back on the server in the "\\<SME server name>\Primary\hmtl\SOGo-plugins\WINNT_x86-msvc" folder.) 

       <Seq about="http://inverse.ca/sogo-integrator/extensions"
          isi:updateURL="https://<sme server name.domain>/SOGo-plugins/updates.php?plugin=%ITEM_ID%&version=%ITEM_VERSION%&platform=%PLATFORM%">
          <li>
            <Description
              em:id="sogo-integrator@inverse.ca"
              em:name="SOGo Integrator"/>
          </li>
          <li>
            <Description
              em:id="sogo-connector@inverse.ca"
              em:name="SOGo Connector"/>
          </li>
          <li>
	      <Description
		em:id="{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}"
		em:name="Lightning"/>
          </li>
        </Seq>

5.) Create the file "updates.php" in the "SOGo-plugins" folder

6.) Add the following lines to the file: (Please note you must customize the "version =>", "filename =>" and "<em:updateLink>http://<sme server name.domain>/SOGo-plugins/<?php echo $plugin["filename"] ?></em:updateLink>" in the lines below!)

(You will have to update this file everytime you update the plugins.)

7.) Install the Thunderbird ESR and configure it to use the SME IMAP email.

8.) Install the "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo.xpi" plugin you modified, into Thunderbird and restart Thunderbird. Sogo will then go to the server and install the other plugins as configured in your "updates.php" file. As default the SOGo-Thunderbird components will associate Calendar and Addressbook to the Sme user/account corresponding to default Thunderbird Imap mail account; so take care to set the desired Imap account as default in Thunderbird before installing plugins.


Now you can create and share address books and calendars in Thunderbird with other SME users and control access rights to them. Your calendars and address books will also sync with the SOGO webmail page as well as any other computers where you have the SOGO Integrator plugin installed.

To configure other devices refer to website; look however at SOGo official up-to-date front-end software and documentation with latest upgrades for server, client and device configuration (http://www.sogo.nu/downloads/frontends.html - http://www.sogo.nu/downloads/documentation.html).

Mixed warnings

You can experience some problem with IMAP authentication: you can login to SOGo but you can't see mail messages; only admin can see his mail. Looking at sogo log you can find erros like this:

This seems related to users not belonging to a group; so be careful that all of your users belong to a group before using SOGo. For existing users:

Create a group
Reset the users password
Add user to the group
