Topic: [HOW TO] Install eGroupWare on SME 7.x

[cool34000]

Hi!

I think alerts are send via email... Have you filled user's email address in its account when you created it ?

[imcintyre]

I did and I also turned on email notices in the calendars section. I was hoping for the kind of outlook functionality that when you are beavering away you get a pop up alerting you that you are going to be late for the next meeting.

I went to their website and there was a bunch of noise about turning on the asynchronous function and importing the cron, but no "how to"

Do you have this function working?

Sometimes I get frustrated with this site but in going to other sites I realize how good this one is for help/responses and easy to follow format.

[cool34000]

Hi.

I'm not using this function...
One lead may be sync eGroupWare with Outlook and let Outlook do what you are expecting.


Have you tryed to post on their forum?

The website isn't rich in howtos or docs about the contribs, but the core product is not badly documented...
If it's not in there, it's just waiting for someone to do it

I am having the same problem as lupo trying to sync

As cool34000 described earlier, I tried to do the "Introspection" for xmlrpc. And it says this:
Code:

Fault: Code: 5 Reason 'Didn't receive 200 OK from remote server. (HTTP/1.1 302 Found)'
methods available at http://192.168.10.250:80/egroupware/xmlrpc.php

instead of that what cool34000 posted. I use egroupware via https and xmlrpc is activated?

The Logintest with eGWOsync fails.

[edit]

I just tried removing the redirect template, and reconfiguring, and now I can pass the logon/logoff test with eGWOSync.

I am using a valid cert.

A thought on the blank page during setup. It may be Firefox causing the problem. I have run into other cases where PHP programs will work only with IE for some functions.

I have tried installing this with both browsers. And it appears the blank page does not occure with IE.

Hello everyone,

I found this eGroupware contrib on this site http://www.smesmith.de/download/sme7/contribs/test/.

I downloaded it and installed it with "yum localinstall *"

I have just begun trying it but so far everything looks like its working fine.

It was so simple to install I wanted to let everyone know!

Has anyone had any success getting egroupware to authenticate users against the SME LDAP service?

Or just get egroupware to be able to read and/or write from/to the SME LDAP service for the address book?


If so would you please post some instructions?


Thanks,

Kevin

[dbuechel]

when i want to install:

[root@willrouter ~]# yum localinstall smeserver-egroupware-1.2.106-1.noarch.rpm

hmmm... what´s wrong ?

[crazybob]

Did you download the rpm?
Did you try to run the yum command from the location you downloaded the rrpm to?

I am getting nowhere with the LDAP authentification.

I tried the scripts from cool3400 and they seem to work after I corrected a permissions issue with the /etc/openldap/schema/phpgw* files.

When I try to execute one of the LDAP scripts in egroupware i always get this message: "Error: Can't bind to LDAP server: cn=root,dc=<xxx>,dc=org! /setup/ldapimport.php"

I am guessing that my egroupware configuration is wrong

Code: [Select]

Do you want to manage homedirectory and loginshell attributes?:  No  
LDAP Default homedirectory prefix (e.g. /home for /home/username):  /home
LDAP Default shell (e.g. /bin/bash):  /bin/bash
LDAP host:  localhost
LDAP accounts context:  ou=person,dc=<xxx>,dc=org
LDAP search filter for accounts, default: "(uid=%user)", %domain=eGW-domain:  
LDAP groups context:  ou=posixGroup,dc=<xxx>,dc=org
LDAP rootdn (searching accounts and changing passwords):  cn=root,dc=<xxx>,dc=org
LDAP root password:  
LDAP encryption type:  DES  
Enable LDAP Version 3:  No  


Does anyone have any suggestions as to what these values should be?


Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi!

I had an error trying to delete a user. It looks like the MySQL user needs LOCK TABLES on egroupware database.

You can easyly update this setting using phpmyadmin...

------

I saw the RPM version at sudemo but it's very old. I recommend not using it.
Dietmar Berteld has made an rpm based on this howto, it's better to use his rpm. See this page in the wiki for more details. The bug I'm talking about is also in the rpm!

------

About LDAP, it would be very nice to make it work...
I can't believe that we are only 2 interested in this feature!

I tried the scripts from cool3400 and they seem to work after I corrected a permissions issue with the /etc/openldap/schema/phpgw* files.

What did you do exactly?

[jester]

SME does not store authentication information in LDAP, so you won't be able to authenticate SME users through LDAP.

There is work being done on this by Charlie (see bug: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1543) but it is still in SME-Future as a NFR so it might take some time... i don't know of voting for bugs is being taken into account by the devs, but you could vote for it.

regards,
jester.

Thanks jester,

We'll continue to use IMAP for authentification. That is acceptable. Would be nice to have the user info (name etc) pulled over when a new account is logged into.

Also we would like to have the LDAP address book available in egroupware. Does anyone have any intructions they could share? I would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks again,

Kevin
