Line 31: − − − ===IMAP Authentication=== − Configure owncloud to authenticate against an IMAP server − ====Enable and Configure IMAP Authentication==== − # Login to your running owncloud configuration as an administrator − # Enable the app named "External user support" <br />Note: "External user support" is included with owncloud as an "Internal app". There is an older add-on app named "IMAP user backend" that did not work for me. − # Edit <owncloud>/config/config.php and insert the text below inside the $CONFIG array − #* in front of the last closing parenthesis in the file (make sure there's a comma at the end of the preceding entry) − #* Replace "mail.mydomain.tld" with your mail server name or IP address − #* Remove "/novalidate-cert" if your chosen mail server uses a signed SSL certificate): − <nowiki> 'user_backends' => − array ( − 0 => − array ( − 'class' => 'OC_User_IMAP', − 'arguments' => − array ( − 0 => '{mail.mydomain.tld:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}', − ), − ), − ),</nowiki> − − When done, users will be able to login to your owncloud web interface using their mail server username and password. − − More information can be found here: http://owncloud.org/support/custom-user-configuration/ − − ====Problems==== − * 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.mydomain.tld", then find that the user always logs in using simply "xyzuser", which succeeds during the IMAP authentication, but is a different account within owncloud. − − =====Allow Sharing with IMAP Users===== − To allow sharing with your IMAP users, you need to manually add the each IMAP user account to the oc_users table using commands like those below at a shell prompt on your SME server: − mysql owncloud − insert into oc_users (uid,password) values ('xyzuser@mail.mydomain.tld','*'); − * '''owncloud''': replace with the name of the database you created for owncloud − * '''xyzuser@mail.mydomain.tld''': replace with the exact login string used by the user when they login − − =====Using the Owncloud Client===== − In order for an IMAP-authenticated user to configure the owncloud client sync program, s/he must: − * login to the web interface − * open his/her personal settings − * "change" the password in owncloud to match the password on the IMAP server.
