Introduction

This is a very preliminary writeup on the installation of Funambol on an SME8b5 installation for use with Sogo

Use only for testing on non production machines and when you find an error, please correct it right here :-)

Download & Install Funambol

Goto https://www.forge.funambol.org/DomainHome.html to download Funambol 8.0. The latest GNU/Linux 32bit funambol server is 8.5, but this has not been confirmed yet for use with SOGO. 

wget http://download.forge.objectweb.org/sync4j/funambol-8.0.2.bin

Run the binary to install: 

chmod +x funambol-8.0.2.bin
./funambol-8.0.2.bin

Agree on the licence terms and accept /opt as the directory to extract Funambol. This will install it in: 

/opt/Funambol

At the end of the install, answer NO on the question if you want to start the server.

Download Apache Commons components

The Funambol SOGo Connector also requires Apache commons collections (v3.2.1), confguration (v1.6), logging (v1.1), lang (v2.4) and the JSON.simple package. The following subsections have the command required to download and insert the .jar files into the Funambol installation.

These components can be downloaded from here: 

http://commons.apache.org/

and are copied into the following directory 

cd /opt/Funambol/tools/tomcat/lib/

collections (v3.2.1)

wget http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/collections/binaries/commons-collections-3.2.1-bin.zip
unzip commons-collections-3.2.1-bin.zip
cp -p commons-collections-3.2.1/commons-collections-3.2.1.jar /opt/Funambol/tools/tomcat/lib/
rm -rf commons-collections-3.2.1

confguration (v1.6)

wget http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/configuration/binaries/commons-configuration-1.6.zip
unzip commons-configuration-1.6.zip
cp -p commons-configuration-1.6/commons-configuration-1.6.jar /opt/Funambol/tools/tomcat/lib/
rm -rf  commons-configuration-1.6

logging (v1.1)

wget http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/logging/binaries/commons-logging-1.1.1-bin.zip
unzip commons-logging-1.1.1-bin.zip
cp -p commons-logging-1.1.1/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar /opt/Funambol/tools/tomcat/lib/
rm -rf  commons-logging-1.1.1

lang (v2.4)

wget http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/lang/binaries/commons-lang-2.5-bin.zip
unzip commons-lang-2.5-bin.zip
cp -p commons-lang-2.5/commons-lang-2.5.jar /opt/Funambol/tools/tomcat/lib/
rm -rf commons-lang-2.5

json-simple

wget http://json-simple.googlecode.com/files/json_simple.jar
cp json_simple.jar /opt/Funambol/tools/tomcat/lib/

Download & Configure Funambol SOGO Connector

Check here: http://www.scalableogo.org/english/downloads/backend.html for the latest version of the Funambol SOGo Connector 

wget http://www.scalableogo.org/uploads/Funambol/funambol-sogo-1.0.7.s4j
cp funambol-sogo-1.0.7.s4j /opt/Funambol/ds-server/modules

Then, open the /opt/Funambol/ds-server/install.properties file 

vim /opt/Funambol/ds-server/install.properties

and add funambol-sogo-1.0.7 at the end of the "modules-to-install" line.

Download & Configure MySQL JDBC driver

Funambol by installation defaults to use the Hypersonic DB engine, but SOGO requires the use of MySQL.

Goto http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.0.html to download the JDBC driver for MySQL. The current version is mysql-connector-java-5.0.8.zip. 

unzip mysql-connector-java-5.0.8.zip
mkdir -p /opt/Funambol/tools/mysql/lib
cp mysql-connector-java-5.0.8/mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar /opt/Funambol/tools/mysql/lib
rm -rf mysql-connector-java-5.0.8

Edit the /opt/Funambol/ds-server/install.properties file to change the Funambol DB connector to MySQL. 

vim /opt/Funambol/ds-server/install.properties

Change the line with dbms= to: 

# The DBMS name. One of:
#   - hypersonic
#   - postgresql
#   - mysql
#
dbms=mysql

Comment out the existing jdbc driver for Hypersonic and add the MySQL: 

# MySQL
# =====
jdbc.classpath=../tools/mysql/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar
jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/funambol?characterEncoding=UTF-8
jdbc.user=funambol
jdbc.password=yourpassword

Reconfigure MySQL for InnoDB and access from the local network

Funambol uses MySQL wit the InnoDB engine and uses networking for access. 

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop mysqld InnoDB enabled
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop mysqld LocalNetworkingOnly no
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/my.cnf
/etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S50mysqld restart

Creating MYSQL user and database

To create the Funambol Database, you'll need to perform each of the following steps: 

mysqladmin create funambol --default-character-set=utf8
mysql -e "grant all privileges on funambol.* to funambol@localhost identified by 'yourpassword'"
mysql -e "flush privileges"


Warning.png Warning:
You may wish to alter the "funambol" and "yourpassword" information in the grant privileges line above. Be sure to configure it correctly in /opt/Funambol/ds-server/install.properties !


Disable Hypersonic JDBC driver

Edit /opt/Funambol/bin/funambol and change COMED=true to COMED=false somewhere around line 44.

This prevents the start/stop script from trying to start or stop the Hypersonic database, since we’re are now using MySQL.

Optionally you can rm -rf /opt/Funambol/tools/hypersonic to save a bit of disk space.

Create Funambol user and group

groupadd funambol
useradd -g funambol -d /opt/Funambol funambol
chmod 770 /opt/Funambol/

Set Funambol to start on system startup

To make Funambol start automagically, create 

vim /etc/init.d/funambol

with the following content: 

#! /bin/bash
#
# funambol Start the funambol services
#
NAME="Funambol 8.0 with SOGO Connector"
FUNAMBOL_HOME=/opt/Funambol/bin
FUNAMBOL_USER=funambol
case "$1" in
  start)
    echo -ne "Starting $NAME.\n"
    cd $FUNAMBOL_HOME
    /bin/su $FUNAMBOL_USER funambol start
    ;;
  stop)
    echo -ne "Stopping $NAME.\n"
    cd $FUNAMBOL_HOME
    /bin/su $FUNAMBOL_USER funambol stop
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/funambol {start|stop}"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac
exit 0

complete it with: 

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/funambol
ln -s /etc/init.d/funambol /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S98funambol
ln -s /etc/init.d/funambol /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K02funambol
ln -s /etc/init.d/funambol /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K02funambol
ln -s /etc/init.d/funambol /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K02funambol
ln -s /etc/init.d/funambol /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K02funambol

Install Modules in Funambol

Next, install the Funambol SOGo Connector within Funambol server by issuing the following commands : 

cd /opt/Funambol/
./bin/install

Answer 'yes' to all questions.

Once complete, update file ownerships for all files in the /opt/Funambol tree 

chown -R funambol:funambol /opt/Funambol/

Funambol is now installed. Start the Funambol server as the funambol user using: 

/etc/init.d/funambol start

and have a quick look if it is running correctly by accessing the web page on: 

http://<server_domain_name>:8080

Change Funambol Admin Password

The default Funambol admin password is sa. This can be changed with the admin-passwd utility but it needs a small fix to load the MySQL connector correctly.

Edit /opt/Funambol/bin/admin-passwd 

vim /opt/Funambol/bin/admin-passwd

and change the line with JDBC_JAR near the top of the file to: 

JDBC_JAR=/opt/Funambol/tools/mysql/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar

Save and run: 

cd /opt/Funambol
./bin/admin-passwd

and follow the prompts.

Public Access to Funambol

And if you want to access Funambol outside your local network, you must open port 8080: 

config set funambol service access public status enabled TCPPort 8080
signal-event remoteaccess-update


Warning.png Warning:
Port 8080 may conflict with other software installations!

TODO: setup apache to proxy the funambol port.


SOGO Sync Sources

The SOGo-Funambol documentation describes how to create the sogo-cal, sogo-card and sogo-todo sync sources through the Funambol administration tool. There are Windows versions of this tool that can be run from a PC and connect to the Funambol server we just installed.

This process creates entries in the funambol database as well as creating a couple of XML configuration files. To allow the SOGo database password to be inserted into these XML files, they are setup below as SME template files.

Until we work out how to add the database settings directly into the funambol database, use the funambol-admin tool to create the sync sources as described in the SOGo documentation. Then create and expand the template files as described below to overwrite the XML files with the SOGo database password included.

Configuring the Calendar Sync connection

mkdir -p /opt/Funambol/config/sogo/sogo/sogo
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/Funambol/config/sogo/sogo/sogo/sogo-cal.xml
cd /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/Funambol/config/sogo/sogo/sogo/sogo-cal.xml
touch template-begin

Edit a new file with: 

vim sogo-cal.xml

And insert the following. Note the $sogod{'DbPassword'} in the scripts below. This pulls in the the database password that SOGO uses to access the MySQL database. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<java version="1.5.0_10" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
 <object class="ca.inverse.sogo.engine.source.SOGoSyncSource">
  <void property="databasePassword">

Configuring the Todo List Sync connection

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/Funambol/config/sogo/sogo/sogo/sogo-todo.xml
cd /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/Funambol/config/sogo/sogo/sogo/sogo-todo.xml
touch template-begin
vim sogo-todo.xml

Insert the following: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<java version="1.5.0_10" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
 <object class="ca.inverse.sogo.engine.source.SOGoSyncSource">

Auto-create Funambol user accounts

Edit the Funambol config file 

vim /opt/Funambol/config/Funambol.xml

And change the officer parameter: 

    <void property="officer">
     <string>ca/inverse/sogo/security/SOGoOfficer.xml</string>
    </void>

Then create the SOGoOfficer.xml file 

vim /opt/Funambol/config/ca/inverse/sogo/security/SOGoOfficer.xml

and insert or update to: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<java version="1.4.0" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
